And you restarted spamassassin ? /etc/init.d/spamassassin restart The first obvious question I would ask is *is it scoring anything* Franc? That is, you have proved and know that your spamassassin is working? Are you sure you are blocking on envelope sender, and not trying to block some other 'from' header that has been inserted? It often confuses people. Perhaps it would help if you posted the output of one of the messages to http://pastebin.com/ so some of the guys and gals here can give you better advice or troubleshoot this for you. Don't worry - with the great help you can get in this group, someone will help you to get this working :-)
