Bug 68669 – mail-filter/dspam: Don't use --enable-spam-subject

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

If you use this configure option you can't get around it, not even when a user specifies otherwise in his personal preferences, because this code snippet is used to decide whether or not to use the subject tag:

from dspam.c:

#ifdef SPAM_SUBJECT
            do_tag = 1;
#endif
            if (PTX != NULL               &&
                PTX->spam_mode == DPS_TAG &&
                PTX->spam_subject[0] != 0)
              do_tag = 1;

            if (do_tag) {
...

So as you can see, if you enable it through configure, you have no chance of getting do_tag=0.

Also you can not get around this by setting the subject prefix to a blank string because of this:

            if (do_tag) {
                char spam_subject[16];
                long subject_length;
                strcpy(spam_subject, "[SPAM]");
                if (PTX != NULL && PTX->spam_mode == DPS_TAG)
                  strcpy(spam_subject, PTX->spam_subject);

I want choice! Please remove this configure option, tagging the subject works without it.

Just a guess, this bug is for mail-filter/dspam?

Alexander, what package is this bug filed against?

[Comment 3 Alexander Gretencord 2004-10-24 07:43:06 UTC]

All, although the lines from dspam.c come from the 3.0.0 release. The whole code for handling the tagging is new in 3.2.0.

Oh, hey I just saw this, LOL, yes of course, mail-filter/dspam. Mental note to self: Don't file bug reports in the middle of the night, when you had a good time drinking beer at an old castle before :)

[Comment 6 Alexander Gretencord 2004-11-15 02:11:35 UTC]

What part of "Please remove this configure option, tagging the subject works without it." did you not see? :)
