Not enough information. You show the recieving email server, but don't say anything about the sender. 1.2.3.1 is not valid, but we'd need the domain name anyhow. I'm assuming gmail.com is not it. No, the reverse IP name doesn't have to match the MX server name, but it does have to result in a name

If "they" say you can't, then this is how you'd do it. (Training would need to be via scripts, not Autolearn, I imagine) SpamAssassin uses Bayes via database queries. So, you rename the tables to something different, and define a view of the same name as the table had been. It will be called by SA
