I'm having trouble with intracompany e-mail.  When a Windows/Outlook user

Which is the office mail server.

Everything is wonderful until Spamassassin sees the short delivery path
and assigns 2.8 points because of it, and a few other minor scores push
it over 5.0.

Should I just manually stomp on that score, or is there are more
subtle way to prevent this false positive?  (I could, for example,
add a compensating negative score for sender IP addresses in our range.)

The best way is to tell your glue layer not to pass internal-to-internal mails to SA in the first place.

What is your MTA (I'm assuming qmail) and how is SA hooked into it?
