I've just had an interesting problem turn up: I replied to an email
on a kernel.org mailing list. There were Chinese characters near the
top of the original mail. On its way out through my mail hub, the mail
was run through the Bitfolk spamassassin, which added its usual two
headers: one with the spam score in it, and one with a horribly
mangled extract of the original mail. This mail got rejected by
vger.kernel.org on the grounds that it doesn't accept UTF-8 in mail
headers.
Is there any way I can get the X-frost.carfax.org.uk-Spam-Report:
header either suppressed completely, or (in preference) without the
content of the original message in it?
I'm guessing the answer is "not without running your own
spamassassin", since this is a shared service, but I thought I'd ask
anyway, just in case...
Hugo.

The header is actually added on the MTA side rather than in spamd so it is configurable.
An easier approach might be to avoid spam scanning mail you send outbound though.

Aaah, thanks. I grepped for the header in /etc/exim4/conf.d/ but I
didn't do it in /etc/exim4 -- now I see where the relevant bits are
kept.
Anything which requires me to do more than trivial changes to my
mail config is not "easier". :)

I would like to avoid doing that, if BitFok's spamds are doing that.

...but BitFolk's spamd's won't be adding an

to look into here?

No. David was right -- it's part of my set-up. I just hadn't found
the relevant bit of config at first, as it was in a slightly
unexpected place.
