I have to check this with the client. I have no clue how confidential that
mail is. Frankly I just whitelisted that particular IP so the problem is
"gone" (sort of). The bug-reports for SpamAssassin suggest that uudecoded
mail bodies are just treated as text and therefore all those rules should
apply unfortunatly. Unless I got this the wrong way and it should not be
scanned at all there is not much we could do. 

MailScanner could decide not to send mail-bodies consisting of only
uuencoded text to SpamAssassin but I am not sure it is

A) feasable
B) worth the effort.

Opinions?
