zmtrainsa does not see attachments

[dvb]

Greetings,

My apologies in advance for a long post.

For some reason, zmtrainsa is not seeing the attached spams I am sending to my spam training account and is therefore not processing the messages properly. It sees the container message, but it claims that no attachment exists and consequently learns nothing from the spam.

I have tried three different clients (Outlook Express 6, Thunderbird 1.5 and Mulberry 4.0.7) and it doesn't matter which one I use — each time I run zmtrainsa to test, I get the message:

[] WARN: message uri=/service/user/xxxx@xxxx.xxxx.xxx/?id=805 message-id=<001701c78b6a$7bcaa1e0$a43f77cc@xxxx.xxxx.xxx> had no attachments

It then goes on to report:

[] INFO: Total messages processed: 1
[] INFO: Total messages processed: 0
Learned from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined).
Learned from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined).
bayes: synced databases from journal in 0 seconds: 1119 unique entries (1292 total entries)

Oddly enough, if log into the web client as the spam training user and forward one of these messages back to the spam training account, zmtrainsa picks it right up:

[] WARN: message uri=/service/user/xxxx@xxxx.xxxx.xxx/?id=809 message-id=<AB554FA97F6567B71C97D81C@xxxx.xxxx.xxx> had no attachments
[] INFO: Total messages processed: 2
[] INFO: Total messages processed: 0
Learned from 1 message(s) (1 message(s) examined).
Learned from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined).
bayes: synced databases from journal in 0 seconds: 257 unique entries (264 total entries)

The two messages being parsed above are the one that it choked on and the same one resent from the web client as an attachment. As you can see, it continues to choke on the first one, but it apparently likes the second one just fine. This is confusing because I am already sending the spam as an attachment.

Here is what I have tried:

- Creating new messages in each client app and attaching a spam by dragging and dropping it into the e-mail.

- Using the Forward As Attachment menu option in Outlook Express

- Using the Forward option in Mulberry with both the and Forward as Attachment and Use Embedded Message options as well as the Forward as Attachment option by itself.

- I also had a Thunderbird user forward a message as an attachment. I did confirm that she was sending the spam as an attachment.

Just to be sure it wasn't the modified zmtrainsa from this thread causing the problem, I restored the original file and I got the same warning, only with the addition of the raw location "-" is not supported error. So I went back to the modified version.

I am running 4.5.4 Network on CentOS.

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm going to post this to bugzilla, but I thought it might generate some discussion here as well.

Dave

dvb,

I have the exact same problem. Did you find a solution or what was your BugID?

Thanks

The Zimbra folks were able to reproduce the behavior and the bug was assigned. No resolution yet.

What I've been doing is having people drag their stuff into a separate IMAP folder in their clients and then "batching" them using the Junk button in the GUI.

Cheers,
Dave
