#ifndef SPAMC_LOCATION
#define SPAMC_LOCATION      "/usr/bin/spamc"
#endif
 
#ifndef SPAMASSASSIN_CONF
#define SPAMASSASSIN_CONF   "/etc/exim4/sa-exim.conf"
#endif

Basically, what the makefile can override with -D

Ah, yeah, I keep forgetting there are still systems with non GNU fileutils

       -R, --rfc-2822
              output RFC-2822 compliant date string

You can remove it, it's just that without it, multi-byte locales would output
multibyte characters for date (without -R), making the C code unhappy after that.

I take it we're talking about this:
            char *start;
            char *end;
            char *mesgid=NULL;

            start=index(buffer, '<');
            end=index(buffer, '>');
 
            if (start == NULL || end == NULL)

My index man page says that it's supposed to return a char *
What does yours?
