Dhaway and Julian, thanks for tips.
I just corrected my mailscanner setup.
Whitelisting the sender in mailscanner rules works fine.

I've yet the problem of truncted log line not whitelisting it.

Oct 23 20:30:32 spamflt1 MailScanner[8114]: Message 72803152107.5A1CC
from 82.53.230.146 (XXXXXXX at XXXXXXXXX) to maXXXXXet.net is

it does not put in log file remaining info (spam and spam scores).

Thanks


Luca
