After applying the updated 349 to a fresh CVS update I received all 10 
of my test messages.  I have always gotten the messages.  Before my 
latest build the headers were not being added.  After the update
all 10 messages were correctly processed.  However I have 4 spamc processes
hanging around and 4 spamd processes hanging around.  I sent you this 
in a private email along with -d2 level logs.

That's possible.  I haven't had much time to dig into this.

So you're saying I maybe should remove this patch from my builds?

Thanks for your help,
