Ok, thanks for the info.I think i will just disable SA being called
through procmail and let MailScanner handle it. Is this the correct way
of doing it?  I have one more question regarding MailScanner and SA. If
I set it to have MailScanner call SA, does SA still use the rules in
local.cf or does it use MailScanners configuration files. In other
words, if I have custom rules, wherte should they be put so that they
still work when MailScanner calls SA?

Shouldn't it be possible to simply check for the presence of
spamassassin
markup before calling it a second time ??

So for example if they wanted to call it as a sendmail milter and also
optionally from procmail during local delivery, it is trivial for the
procmail script to check for existing spamassassin markup before
deciding
whether to call SA or not.

Not that I'm suggesting this is a good setup, but it certainly easy to
avoid calling it twice on the same message...
