Difference between Spam-Scores..

[Martin Hepworth]

Marcel

small point but remoce the '.' (dot) in the MailScanner.conf for your
suite name, it breaks alot of MTA's and is an illegal char in headers
after all.

I note that bayes isn't triggering on the MS version. Can the
MailScanner user read/write to the bayes DB?

AS to the date_in_past rule, I'd check the user can read all the rules
in /etc/mail/spamassass and /usr/local/lib/spamassassin.
