Because it's a virus, not spam. There are several ways of integrating SpamAssassin with a virus scanner, I suggest you look at some (or write some rules for SA that mark .exe's as spam, but they won't go into the core engine). Try freshmeat as a good source of such modules, btw. - -- Matt. <:->get a SMart net</:-> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8xX3H5tFry5Ir+lARAiG3AJ9zFOMmM3YOOmNgGIOtOn+XPHHyJgCcDVpK dPUGNrEPSUBCdmV3ufzq3aw= =FPJx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
