Hotmail Whitelisted {Scanned}

[David Shaw]

Well a run a test. First was to blacklist my work email in MS.

X-Computer-Medic-MailScanner-Information: Please contact the ISP for more
information
X-Computer-Medic-MailScanner: Found to be clean
X-Computer-Medic-MailScanner-SpamCheck: spam (blacklisted)
X-MailScanner-From: dshaw at stbernard.com
Status:

Looks like MS doesn't pass this to Spamassassin.

Second test was to not blacklist in MS but in Spamassassin.

X-Computer-Medic-MailScanner-Information: Please contact the ISP for more
information
X-Computer-Medic-MailScanner: Found to be clean
X-Computer-Medic-MailScanner-SpamCheck: spam, SpamAssassin (score=100.5,
    required 3.5, SPAM_PHRASE_01_02 0.50, USER_IN_BLACKLIST 100.00)
X-Computer-Medic-MailScanner-SpamScore:
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

MS passes it Spamassassin and Spamassassin marks it.

So I think the whitelisted mark is coming from a:
MailScanner.conf not pointing to the right whitelist.
or
MailScanner is reading the helo address or the envelope address first.
