OUTSTANDING SUCCESS!

I had to insert those lines in /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf as they had no effect in
the spamassassin local.cf file.

I've fired off several emails to different users on the domain and from different accounts of my own
just to test it and it seems to work..........

:-)))))

Thanks.
