[imapfilter-devel] Spam-Status matching...

[Damien]

Hi,

a long time ago, I setup imapfilter to move all my spamassassin detected
spam into a special folder :

filter spam
    header X-Spam-Status yes
action move spam
 
a month ago, I saw all my mail going into this folder regardless of the
SpamStatus header (supposed to contain "yes"),
it took me some time to understand that the "yes" matched by imapfilter
was the one from "baYES" in 
"X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00,..."

the mail adlministrator had setup bayes...

fixing it is easy :

filter spam
    header X-Spam-Status "yes, hits"
action move spam


I don't think imapfilter should change its quite natural behavior,
but this "feature" should be mentioned somewhere, in order to avoid some
disasters...

hope this helps,
damien
