You're running procmail, and this runs at message delivery time. It will be run when sendmail is delivering to your mailbox on the Solaris system. What mechanism are you using to tell the Solaris system to forward messages to the Exchange server? If it doesn't involve the user of procmail, then those messages simply aren't being run through SpamAssassin at all. > As far as the Outlook users are concerned SA doesn't appear to be > working at all.

Has I'm pretty sure you'll find that the mail that's being sent to Exchange has never been scanned by SA. Your best bet is to move the call to SA a different stage in the mail processing. Perhaps look at using MailScanner (www.mailscanner.info), which will enable you to integrate virus scanning at the same time.
