Almost certainly; anything is possible :-)


% intercepted again?  It would involve circumventing spamd's scanning 

Hmmm...  On this I'm not so sure, though...


% this message so that it can be redelivered to the user's local 
% mailbox.

In some recent posts there has been talk of SA automatically (that is, in
the default configuration) pasing over, whitelisting, or otherwise
handling x-spama or x-beenthere headers.  While I don't believe the
latter gets injected by SA in a check pass, I think that the former does.

Anything you hand off to sendmail, whether using /usr/bin/mail or
anything else, will definitely go through your SA check because it has to
be delivered (well, really, transferred by the MTA to hand off to the
delivery agent MDA, procmail), so you'll want this sort of whitelisting
in place.

An alternative, I suppose, could be having SA or procmail or whatever add
a header all your own (X-PrimeLogic-SpamTag or such) as it gets delivered
to the archive system after interception, and then have your configs
whitelist that.  [Note that I'm not sure if there is a way to actually
tell SA to pass something through other than setting the whitelist value
to a sufficiently (ridiculously?) low number like -1000.]  Another could
be to have your recovery method, whatever that is, hand the mail directly
to the user's procmail or mailbox so that you *do* bypass the transport
step.


HTH & HAND & have fun :-)
