score=0/spamc errors -- continued

If a domain was in the auto whitlelist, would the score be set to 0 ?  Is
there any tool that can be used to view the autowhitelist.db file to check
for domains and addresses?

Thanks

Matthew

Hi

Redhat 7.3 running on a Dell Poweredge with Dual 1Ghz Processors and 1GB
of
Ram
sendmail 8.11.6 - fully patched

I upgraded from MailScanner 4-13.3 to 4.22.4 and all I did was update the
.conf and .rule files to what I previously had. I downloaded SA 2.55 and
compiled from source.

I am seeing e-mail getting scored with SpamAssassin but occassionally it
doesn't even check for e-mail to a domain for spam.

An example of the problem I've been looking at

An email is sent from 1zbygm6VcbmPdijo463wtpZP7mIjEe at 5948.bounce.e-i1.com
to gary1 at gormanrupp.com

MX 5 for gormanrupp.com points to 63.173.207.13 (smithers)

the e-mail is checked by mailscanner and via mailertable is forwarded onto
the client's Lotus mail server

In the 'document properties' under X-MailScanner-SpamCheck it says
SCORE=0,
REQUIRED=4

Naturally I am baffled by this problem. The MX 10 server which we provide
does not have MS or SA installed so I'm ruling that out.

If you're running MailScanner, and MailScanner is running SpamAssassin
directly, then I don't understand why spamc and/or spamd would be
involved in any way at all.

Would you mind explaining just how things are installed, and who does
what, and with which, and to whom? Then we'll all have a somewhat
better understanding of what's going on.

Output from `ps awux | grep -i mail`, or its Linux equivalent, would
be useful, too.
