(Top posting fixed)

Except the "scanned" in the subject line tends to confuse some threaded
mail clients.  My mutt machines have fractured threads occasionally,
Kmail and Thunderbird seem to handle it OK.

As for a rule, just make the following changes to MailScanner.conf:

- Change "Scanned Modify Subject = yes" to be a rule set, ie, (change
"yes" to "%etc-dir%/rules/subject.scanned.rules")

- Create the "subject.scanned.rules" file in your rules directory with:
ToOrFrom:    mailscanner at jiscmail.ac.uk    no
ToOrFrom:    default                       yes

- Restart MailScanner and voila.

You could even wild card the "jiscmail.ac.uk" domain (*@*jiscmail.ac.uk)
if you wanted to - that's what I've done :)

Cheers,

James
