[Dovecot] mailtrain with dovecot antispam plugin

[Hugo Monteiro]

Hello all, and Johannes if you're around,


I was trying to set up the "new" antispam plugin with the mailtrain 
backend, and i was trying to use the sendmail binary that's part of a 
qmail system. The message wouldn't get sent and i kept getting exit 
error 100 from the /var/qmail/bin/sendmail binary. To try to figure out 
what was happening, i mean a fake sendmail program, which is nothing 
more than a bash script to capture the command call input.

The script is rather simple, it just places the calling parameters into 
a txt file and the stdin into another.

code is

#!/bin/bash

echo $* > /tmp/sendmail-parms.txt
exec cat<&0 >> /tmp/sendmail-msg.txt

exit 0


So i tried a retrain and went to see what those txt files had. The 
parms.txt file was fine apparently, with cat /tmp/sendmail-parms.txt i got

-f hm at hmonteiro.net notspam-hm at hmonteiro.net



Then i did the same to the message file, with cat /tmp/sendmail-msg.txt, 
and i got the follwing

Return-Path: <hugo.monteiro at fct.unl.pt>Delivered-To: hm at hmonteiro.net

As you can see, there is no new line in the first line. Return-Path and 
Delivered-To are set in a single line, which makes qmail-inject (which 
is later used by /var/qmail/bin/sendmail) to abort like this

cat /tmp/sendmail-msg.txt | /var/qmail/bin/sendmail -f hm at hmonteiro.net 
notspam-hm at hmonteiro.net
qmail-inject: fatal: unable to parse this line:
Return-Path: <hugo.monteiro at fct.unl.pt>Delivered-To: hm at hmonteiro.net

Before i go into digging the plugin code i was wondering if i'm not 
seing things clearly and thinking this is in fact a bug in the plugin code.

Thank you all in advance,

Hugo Monteiro.
