[SAtalk] International false positive problem

I am using SpamAssassin (2.53 currently) in a world wide corporate environment. I have more problems with false positives from Europe, Asia, Africa, and even Australia than in North and South America. I am using Sendmail-Switch and call SpamAssassin from MimeDefang with "action_discard", so I ha

[SAtalk] Blocking cleaned virus messages.
