I attached the whole filter below which ends up sending 'good' messages to spamassassin (spamc) for processing before final delivery. That all works great - my own mail gets filtered and every message has the X-Spam header, so I know the filter is working.

But the rule that's failing sometimes (apparently) is the very first thing. I wanted to trap that junk before wasting any further processor cycles on it.

Here's something that might be a clue. I must have sent 100 test messages to the 'bad' address now. Every single one gets trapped by the filter rule. Messages that seem to fail/miss the test are true junk mail with goofy headers. Is it possible that maildrop isn't seeing such headers properly?

Here's the mailfilter file:

import HOME import EXT import HOST

VPOP="| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox" VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d $EXT@$HOST`

logfile "/tmp/junkmail/Maildir/maildrop.log"

if ( /jsmith/:h ) { log "Rule 1: $MATCH" EXITCODE=0 exit }

if ( $SIZE < 262144 ) { exception { xfilter "/usr/bin/spamc -f -u $EXT@$HOST" } } if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/) { exception { to $VHOME/Maildir/.SPAM/ } exception { include $VHOME/Maildir/.mailfilter } exception { to "$VPOP" exit } } else { exception { include $VHOME/Maildir/.mailfilter } exception { to "$VPOP" exit } }
