Getting spamass-milter and postfix to play nice.

[Peter Losher]

I have used spamass-milter to handle piping incoming mail to
SpamAssassin.  Which has worked fine for the past year until I needed to
tag mail with the [SPAM] subject line which requires the ability to
rewrite messages (no -m in spamass-milter)  Without it it has issues:

-=-
spamass-milter[31331]: SpamAssassin: st_optionneg[5430272]: 0x3d does
not fulfill action requirements 0x13
postfix/smtpd[31150]: warning: milter unix:/var/run/spamass-milter.sock:
can't read SMFIC_OPTNEG reply packet header: Unknown error: 0
postfix/smtpd[31150]: warning: milter unix:/var/run/spamass-milter.sock:
read error in initial handshake
postfix/smtpd[31150]: NOQUEUE: milter-reject: CONNECT from host[IP]: 451
4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again later; proto=SMTP
-=-

It's called up by:

spamass_milter_flags="-f -p ${spamass_milter_socket} -r 10 -u spamd"

and in main.cf:

# Milters for mail that arrives via the smtpd(8) server.
# See below for socket address syntax.
milter_connect_macros = b i j _ {daemon_name} {if_name} {if_addr}
milter_end_of_data_macros = b i j _ {daemon_name} {if_name} {if_addr}
{mail_addr}
smtpd_milters = unix:/var/run/clamav/clmilter.sock,
                  unix:/var/run/spamass-milter.sock

Adding back in -m to the spamass-milter command line removes the error, 
but it doesn't have the ability then to rewrite subject lines. :(

Any ideas?

Best Wishes - Peter
