[James R. Stevens]

Hmmm... Got the info from here
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/serve/cache/98.html
Can you offer any way to accomplish my goal?

Again, Forward missed Spam to a Linux mailbox. Have something to
distiguish beteen my organizations mail headers and feed the rest into
sa-learn.

No, that's not what this script does.. This script processes a mailbox
and removes WHOLE MESSAGES that are from your users, and then feeds any
remaining messages to the learner.

It does NOT attempt to do any kind of fixing of the headers to
compensate for forwarding. If the message has your headers in it, it
will be discarded by this script and not processed.


Read this a bit more closely. Note that it says it will remove "our own
users email". It does not say it will "remove our users email address
from the message".
