Subject: amavisd-new: current amavis p0f code does not properly write OS fingerprinting headers
Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2006 00:56:20 -0700
Package: amavisd-new
Version: 1:2.4.2-1
Severity: normal

The p0f fingerprinting code in amavis currently writes its headers when
passing information down to SpamAssassin, but doesn't write the headers
into the actual message stream, so we don't record OS types for posterity
later (or for the quarantine messages).

This bug should probably be forwarded upstream some day.
Maybe its even already fixed...

Hope it helps
