>From this the bit in the ?? is what is matching your regexp. MailWatch
obviously forwards using smtp so you have 2 options.

1) Configure MailWatch to send using direct queue injection (Not my
preferred choice as spam messages that are quarantined are not virus
scanned. A bit embarrasing if you forward a virus in a spam message!)
2) Why not white list all mail from 127.0.0.1 in a rule set? It will be
virus scanned but not spam scanned therefore won't end up back in your
quarantine.
