Would love to help you there, but my scanner of choice is MIMEDefang, and I don't know exactly how MailScanner is using SpamAssassin. For example, MIMEDefang uses its own configuration file for SpamAssassin (not default one) called sa-mimedefang.cf. In that file to use system wide autowhitelisting and bayes, one would place something along the lines: #Enable AWL use_auto_whitelist 1 auto_whitelist_path /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang-autowhitelist auto_whitelist_file_mode 0640 #Enable Bayes use_bayes 1 use_bayes_rules 1 bayes_path /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang-bayes bayes_file_mode 0640 bayes_auto_learn 1 bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam 0.0 bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam 15.0 I know this is example how to get it working in something completely different, but hopefully it might provide some ideas to solve problem in your case too. As you said, MailScanner list might give you more usefull answers... -- Aleksandar Milivojevic <amilivojevic at pbl.ca> Pollard Banknote Limited Systems Administrator 1499 Buffalo Place Tel: (204) 474-2323 ext 276 Winnipeg, MB R3T 1L7
