FW: Spamassassin only

[Paul Hamilton]

Julian,

Our ms.conf setup is a follows:

# Spam Detection and Spam Lists (DNS blocklists)
# ----------------------------------------------
#

# Do you want to check messages to see if they are spam?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Spam Checks = yes

# This is the list of spam blacklists (RBLs) which you are using.
# See the "Spam List Definitions" file for more information about what
# you can put here.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Spam List = ORDB-RBL spamcop.net Infinite-Monkeys osirusoft.com

# This is the list of spam domain blacklists which you are using
# (such as the "rfc-ignorant" domains). See the "Spam List Definitions"
# file for more information about what you can put here.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Spam Domain List =

We have got "# skip_rbl_checks 0" in our spam.assassin.prefs.conf

If we remove the RBL's from the MS.conf we do not see any reference
in our logs to RBL checking.

We only want Spamassassin to do the spam detection through RBL's
and others, we ideally do not want MS to any spam checking
so we can truly separate the two services - is this possible?

Thanks

Paul H.

Can you check your MailScanner.conf file to check you aren't using the same
ruleset for both?
Or perhaps not reloading MailScanner after changing rules files?
As far as I am aware no-one else has reported this happening.
