undoing mailscanner modifications before feeding into sa-learn

[Martin Hepworth]

Wolfgang

in spam.assassin.prefs.conf you'll need something like....

bayes_ignore_header X-SSL-MailScanner
bayes_ignore_header X-SSL-MailScanner-SpamCheck
bayes_ignore_header X-SSL-MailScanner-SpamScore
bayes_ignore_header X-SSL-MailScanner-Information
bayes_ignore_header X-SSL-Mailscanner-From

Where SSL needs to be replaced with the org-name setting in your
MailScanner.conf

Other settings should make much difference as the first thing sa-learn
does is to token-ise the email...

then run

sa-learn -p <path-to>/spam.assassin.prefs.cong --spam ....
