Excellent! I've just started using spamassassin and was curious about the
hits. Unfortunately so far I think the score from SpamAssassin is

accurately tagged spam  1
not-spam tagged         3
spam not tagged         2

I'll keep watching it...

Do I gather correctly from the archive that the way to adjust the
spamassassin threshold for mailscanner is to alter root's spamassassin.cf?

Cheers,

Martin
