Where does this come from - CONTENT_TYPE_MULTIPART

I use some homeboy scripting to generate a list of what rules were
hit and what scores they got so I can adjust my home scores and rules

They come out in the headers under X-spama-scores:
like so:

[...]
X-Spama-Scores: D:CLICK_BELOW:0.100
D:DO_IT_TODAY:0.774
D:HTML_60_70:0.359
D:HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_06:1.531
D:HTML_LINK_CLICK_HERE:0.100
D:HTML_MESSAGE:0.160
D:HTML_TABLE_THICK_BORD:0.580
D:MIME_BOUND_NEXTPART:0.942
D:MIME_QP_LONG_LINE:0.242 T:4.788

My scripting just grabs the rules spama already inserts and goes and
gets the scores from the stock files and then from my home files.

I keep seeing this one: CONTENT_TYPE_MULTIPART in spamassassins list
under header X-Spam-Status:

X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=8.4 required=5.0 tests=AWL,CLICK_BELOW,
CONTENT_TYPE_MULTIPART,DO_IT_TODAY,HTML_60_70,HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_06,
HTML_LINK_CLICK_HERE,HTML_MESSAGE,HTML_TABLE_THICK_BORD,
MIME_BOUND_NEXTPART,MIME_QP_LONG_LINE autolearn=no version=2.63

Its not one of mine and its not in the package stock files of 2.63
either.

grep -l CONTENT /usr/share/spamassassin/*
<nada>

So where does it come from?

did you try the other directories that rules are parsed from? It looks like
it's a custom rule that someone, somewhere is using.

grep CONTENT_TYPE_MULTIPART /etc/mail/spamassassin/*

grep CONTENT_TYPE_MULTIPART ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs

I checked my SA archive, which covers 20 versions of SA from sa 1.5 to sa
2.63, plus a 2.70 cvs snapshot from 12/9/2004. It's never been a part of
the standard ruleset.

Do you just mean ~/user or are there others. I ask because this is
my home machine, I'm the only user. I installed from several rpms
and using the rpm commands to display files I see only
/usr/share/spamassassin as the recipient of those kind fo files.
(Other than /etc/mail/spamassassin)

The manual pages for spamd, Mail::SpamAssassin etc seem to be saying
that stuff should be there. I didn't notice mention of other
locations.

rpm -qa|grep -i spam ... gives me:

perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63-1
spamassassin-2.63-1
spamassassin-tools-2.63-1

/usr/share/doc/spam* is another but no *.cf files there.

My own user_prefs is blank.
This is a little puzzling.

I have had various versions of spamassassin. Some build yourself
and some from pkgs. I thought maybe something was still straggling
around in /usr/local but no...

So this isn't coming from something internal?

There are 3 file locations used:

/usr/share/spamassassin
/etc/mail/spamassassin

and a SINGLE FILE
~/.spamassassin/user_prefs.

I was asking if you'd checked all three sources of input. Your original
email only mentioned grepping /usr/share/spamassassin.

It's certainly nothing that's ever been in any released build of SA. At
least, none newer than 1.5

Ok, thanks. I think it was some sort of moved filehandle thing going
on or maybe a failure to restart after moving stuff around.

I had local.cf up in vim while running tests in a sandbox with
procmail. I deleted all but the essentials in /etc/mail/spamassassin,
leaving only my scripts and local.cf. Where there had been several *~
and tmp files. The pesky CONTENT* entry quit showing up then.

I'm sure it wasn't anthing all that exotic. Most likely operator
bumbling I guess.
