recently I've noticed this fault: when my MTA receives mail identified as spam (score > 7.0) from a specific external distribution list, SA tags the message, and instead of discarding the message (as set by the CommuniGate rule), it delivers it to the recipient (a user of mine who is subscribed to that external list), moreover SpamAssassin generates a reply to the sender (the list itself), even though I've never configure SA to do it!
This behavior amplifies the damage sending SpamAssassin reports to an entire mailing list (many thousands of people) where already victims of the original spam message...!
Is this a SA known bug? Or I have something misconfigured...?

One more thing: I'm using the "spamprep" executable image... so I've changed the "scanspam.sh" file as suggested by www.comunigatefaq.com/cgatefaq/SpamAssassin
Please help! Since many people already complain about this...
