OT: milter-spamd

[david l goodrich <dlg@dorkzilla.org>]

(i understand that misc@openbsd.org is perhaps not the best place to be 
asking for milter-spamd support, but i thought i would endure the 
flames rather than pester daniel hartmeier with something potentially 
trivial...)

basically, milter-spamd isn't working like it ought to.  it passes 
absolutely everything, even things that are marked as spam if i run 
spamc against it manually (even as user _milter-spamd).  for example, 
the milter-spamd log shows this:
May  1 21:21:02 testmachine milter-spamd[17582]: 207.109.214.13: ACCEPT 
(ham 0.0/0.0), From: Leopoldo Early <edk3hjjx@hotmail.com>, To: 
b9435@selco.lib.mn.us, Subject: \M-D\M-+\M-5\M-e\M-0\M-* 
\M-G\M-X\M-0\M-a\M-G\M-O\M-0\M-m 
36\M-0\M-3\M-?\M-y\M-:\M-P\M-G\M-R\M-;\M-s\M-H\M-/ 
3\M-C\M-5\M-8\M-8\M-?\M-x\M-1\M-n\M-A\M-v je jq

but `spamc < 3445. | grep ^X-Spam` returns the following (even when run 
as user _milter-spamd, which milter-spamd is set to run as):
$ id
uid=36(_milter-spamd) gid=36(_milter-spamd) groups=36(_milter-spamd)
$ spamc < 3445. | grep ^X-Spam
X-Spam-Flag: YES
X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=9.5 required=5.0
X-Spam-Level: *********
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.50 1.173-2003-02-20-exp
$

i'm curious if anyone can tell me why there is such a discrepancy in 
results?  if i'm reading the milter-spamd log right, it looks like it's 
not running any tests on the email as it passes through, but running it 
manually shows that it /ought/ to...

oh, and no, those X-Spam-Flag headers were not already in the message:
$ grep ^X-Spam 3445
$

i'm running OpenBSD 3.3 with a GENERIC kernel.  (yeah, end-of-life, but 
the machine's half-way 'round the world...)
thanks for any advice...
