SA problem since MS upgrade

[Julian Field]

First off, has anyone else seen this problem?
I haven't heard any reports of this from anyone else, so it may be a Perl
oddity in your setup.

What version of Perl are you using? And on what operating system?

Are you getting the spam report in the log for these messages as well as
the subject-line tag? (you might need to turn on spam logging first)

Please try changing lines 442-443 of sendmail.pl from
     $IsSpam->{$mID} = 1      if $ThisIsSpam;
     $IsSpam->{$mID} = 'high' if $ThisIsHigh;
to
     $IsSpam->{"$mID"} = 1      if $ThisIsSpam;
     $IsSpam->{"$mID"} = 'high' if $ThisIsHigh;

If you aren't getting the log entries as well, then for some reason
$ThisIsHigh is being set without $ThisIsSpam being set (which shouldn't be
possible).

Let's see what happens now (and see what other responses we get from anyone
else), then I'll dig further.

I've just done a diff between 3.22-10 and 3.22-12. All the spam detection
code is in sendmail.pl and here's the diff between the 2 versions of it:
>4c4
>< #   $Id: sendmail.pl,v 1.99.2.22 2002/07/17 15:27:02 jkf Exp $
>---
> > #   $Id: sendmail.pl,v 1.99.2.28 2002/07/30 15:51:46 jkf Exp $
In other words, none of that code has changed, so the change in behaviour
has got to be something a lot more subtle...

Keep me posted.
