Right, in the default config, that's true. WHY Ensim does it this way, 
I'll never know; rather than finding out what would be best, they 
typically go and customize the heck out of something in some bizarre manner.

I have changed my system so that MailScanner does the antispam, not 
spamd. Spamd is not running on the system.

The challenge I seem to be having is that I end up with a sendmail 
process out there that picks up mail and doesn't pass it through 
MailScanner. MOST mail does go through MailScanner, but some (especially 
at peak times) goes through unchecked.

Thanks,
