Re: [SAtalk] Header problem, intermittent, SpamAssassin 2.60 rc3

It would be nearly impossible for every message to take the same path, 
unless you close off your mail server to only itself.  There is a 
possibility that someone's relay is also using SA _before_ outbound 
relaying.  This could be an ISP or company/organization who is running 
outbound message through SA.  That would score and tag a message before it 
ever reaches your SMTP relay.

I'm not sure I'm following you on this one... Mail does go through the
same path - i.e. it's going to the same user account on the same server.
And as for the other point, who else could be filtering for spam ?
Definitely not the spammer, right ? and on the server, all mail do go
through the same path. Mail gets delivered through procmail to
spamassassin and based on the header it's either moved to a spam folder
or not.
Even if I am scanning it after someone else had scanned it, why would one
email message be processed once and other message twice ? it's the same
procmail, same server, same spamassassin installation, same user_prefs
....

that would be true if you only get mail going through the same path
all the time.  it's likely not you scanning twice, you're probably
scanning it after someone else scanned it.
