[Spambayes] Other pop3proxy options

[John D.]

Hi,

been away from the list for a while,   but want to comments on some of the earlier postings from a long time ago....   So excuse the lateness of this posting.

(beside the obvious potential for a spammer to slip in a workaround)  I use Outlook Express, and obviously can't use the arbitrary header technique - and am most interested in adding a [***SPAM***] header so that I can correctly bucketize those messages - but leave [***UNSURE***] in my primary box, and not molest ham messages at all.

I have found a certain number of messages are not parsed correctly by the re that you are using.  They show up as From: (none) Subj: (none) in the UI - but I haven't determined why just yet (though I can see that some part of the message is getting stuck with the header by your re.split(r'\n\r?\n', messageText, 1) expression.

So - the reason why we are changing this,  is to accommodate Outlook users who can't filter on the "X-Spambayes-Classification"?
