RE: [cobalt-users] Spamassassin subject rewriting

Thanks - you got me on the right track.
It looks like mailscanner is doing some checks against some external
databases, and making the {spam?} mark.

These seem to be effective checks - at least in my own inbox they work
very well - so I don't think I'll shut down the marks.

After chasing this for awhile for only one user who is having trouble,
I'm concluding that he's coming through an ISP that's in one of these
databases. I think I'll make him use our SMTP (even though the
POP-before-SMTP seems to confuse some mail clients).

Thanks for your help.
Doug
