I understand the distinguishing between spam and spam related/quoting mails is hard, if not impossible but I don't want to workaround this by whitelisting (or not passing to SA at all) SAtalk because this allows any spam sent to the list to reach me unfiltered and so far this was my first false positive on SAtalk, so it isn't a big problem anyways. I'll keep the rules in my personal SA config, so no spammer will know anyways. > Anyway, the spam that Bob forwarded was going to be marked > as spam no matter how you handled the SA headers!

He said so, but this must have included DNSRBLs, razor, etc. His mail quoting the spam message scored about 11 on my box. Still way above 5, though. BTW: Is there a simple command stripping the SA results from a mail as done by 'spamassassin -r'. I want to reprocess my false positives/negatives on a regular basis to see whether changed rules will better SA. I reckon it's not a good idea to process them with the results still in it.
