Subject: [MAILSCANNER] spam mail

Maybe I'm not getting the jest of how this is supposed to work, but I keep
getting sporadic spam mail with basically the same content and certain key
words that in my opinion should be picked up by either SA or MS.  The
subject is different but the content isn't.  So my question is does either
of the two apps actually scan the content (body) of the e-mail or are they
just looking at the header and subject line?

Thanks
