My attached c file got stripped.  Here is it.

reject-spam.c
-------------------------------------------------------------------
#include "stralloc.h"
#include "substdio.h"
#include "readwrite.h"
#include "getln.h"
#include "str.h"

stralloc s = {0};
substdio i = {0};
substdio o = {0};

char ibuf[1024];
char obuf[1024];

int main(void){

        int match;

        substdio_fdbuf(&i,read,0,ibuf,sizeof(ibuf));
        substdio_fdbuf(&o,write,1,obuf,sizeof(obuf));

        for(;;){
                if(getln(&i,&s,&match,'\n') == -1) _exit(81);
                if(!match || s.len == 1) break;
                if(!str_diffn("X-Spam-Flag: YES\n", s.s, s.len)) _exit(20);
                substdio_put(&o,s.s,s.len);
        }

        substdio_put(&o,s.s,s.len);
        substdio_copy(&o,&i);
        substdio_flush(&o);
        _exit(0);
}
