I am using a test domain that will get dropped once we go live. Once we 
go live I will then get a copy of the "good" bayes database from our 
current system. I know that MailScanner works once it is configured 
correctly and thats the rub. I won't know that I've made a mistake until 
the spam starts slipping by the checks and I've got a CEO that breathes 
fire when he gets even one spam email and everytime I've upgraded 
MailScanner something has broken, usually my fault but not always, and 
lots of spam gets past MailScanner and the CEO goes ballistic. So 
MailScanner works, yes, but only if every single piece of it is 
configured correctly. I just spent my morning trying to figure out why 
email wasn't being scanned for spam and virii. Well I had forgot to 
uncomment the header_checks line in main.cf.
