Matt,

It appears you're right about that.  My humble thanks.  I had that directive 
set to yes as per MailWatch installation instructions; it's been like that 
for quite a while.  OK, that takes care of whitelisted addresses being 
scored.  But, it's curious to me why mcp is still scored with 
spamassassin-type rules, as in:

MCP Report:	
	Score	Matching Rule		Description
	2.71		RCVD_IN_SBL

As I described in my original post, the mcp directives in MailScanner.conf are 
stock, except for bumping up the scores so as not to get an fp.  Shouldn't 
mcp be looking only in its .cf files?
