The qmail-scanner faq says: 10. How do I configure/install Spam Assassin? [...] I'd recommend not running it in the default mode, where it alters all messages that it thinks are spam - that will annoy too many users. Don't forget Qmail-Scanner is there messing around with all mail into AND OUT OF your site!!! Don't embarrass yourself!!! For the brave (or foolish :-) I'd recommend the following settings for spamassassin.prefs. rewrite_subject 0 report_header 1 use_terse_report 1 defang_mime 0 skip_rbl_checks 1 Why? Those settings stops SpamAssassin from altering the message in a way the user will see; they will have to know about the added headers in order to act (better: it should be the users choice - IMHO). Secondly, disable RBL checks as you should have done them earlier :-) [end excerpt] I didn't see any way mentioned to tell qmail-scanner not to scan outgoing mail. If you follow the advice of setting your SA preferences to not modify the body and add a rule that gives a big negative score for some header that you can be sure indicates that the mail is being sent from your end (not From: which often is sent to your address by a spammer) then your outgoing mail will have a 'X-Spam-status: No' header but not otherwise be messed up. -- sidney _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
