Hi Giovanni

massassin(1) or another method ?

ssassin as well.

MIMEdefang directly loads the Mail::SpamAssassin perl module.

As far as I know, there is exactly one additional config file passed to
SpamAssassin when invoked from MIMEdefang.

And I can't make out differences, this is what is puzzling me.

If I put rules in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf they are run in both
cases (as root from command line with spamassassin -D -t) and from
MIMEdefang.

Any rules in /usr/share/spamassassin (debian default path) are also run
in both cases.

So what could make the specific rule TO_IN_SUBJ never reporting a hit
when run from MIMEdefang but perfectly matching when I save that exact
same email as rfc/822 and then run spamassassin -D -t on that file?

I'm trying to find a way to run spamassassin in debug mode from
MIMEdefang to maybe get more hints what is going wrong.
