Empty message - TEMPFILE question
Nicolas Ross
We have on our server Clam av / cgpav and Spam Assassin / cpgsa, both
running as external filters.
Here are my 2 rules :
Rule Pri : 6 cgpav
Size > 2048
add header : X-CgpAv-Scanned: Yes
External filter cgpav
Rule Pri : 5 cgpsa
Any route is LOCAL*
Message size < 65535
Header fied is not X-Spam-Status*
>From is not MAILER-DAEMON@*
External filter cgpsa
I get from time to time empty message, containing only headers, such as :

Fotunetly, most of the time, it appears to be mail from yahoo and others
like it. So it's most likely not a ham mail... So is those mails only bogus
smtp servers or mail agent that sent only partial contents ?
Also, since I installed cgpsa (I had spam assassin with per user rules
before), my log size as grown 20% with the same log settings (all to "Major
& failures") but my question is what are those "TEMPFILE" entries are ? I
got those only since I use cgpsa.
Thanks

Empty messages could be down to either malfunctioning spamware or attempts
to verify the validity of email addresses.
