Which should make it:

#!/bin/ksh

sed -e 's/^.$/H??X-SpamRequested-Email: Requested\
./' \
    -e 's/^\$_.*/$_[PUT YOUR WHITELISTED IP HERE]/' $emailID >
qf$emailID.$$ && mv qf$emailID.$$ qf$emailID

cp *$i /var/spool/mqueue.in

I have left the SpamRequested header in there, just for info purposes,
but removed the rule from spam.assassin.prefs.conf.  That way, spammers
can't benefit from it.

Again, thanks for mentioning it, Kevin!
