I'm not sure if they will accept your request but it's worth trying. However, if the mail is going through one or more accounts, such relaying blurs the spam score, e.g. you would need to have all mailservers in trusted_networks and internal_networks for good checking of blacklists, SPF etc. luckily BAYES can usually fix that... > I see some ways to solve this problem: > - trust the other servers and learn those mails as spam, but i wouldn't > like to do that (they had quite a few false positives in the past) imho it's best to filter before forwarding, if possible. > - rewrite the mail before processing, purging the traces from previous > spamassassin instances (i'm using procmail, so this would not be too > hard, is there a premade solution to this by chance?) I believe it's possible, but I don't know of any solution which does that.

Is there a way to do that? using different user preferences file, when run from procmail. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
