Hi,

Thanks Tim, yes I did check the spamassassin archives before posting here so I saw that 
one.  This is a brand new install with version 3.1.7 and we woulnd't touch OpenDNS in a 
business environment, anything that modifies dns queries/responses would only cause 
problems in my opinion.

I posted to this list because it only happens when the mail is passed through MailScanner, so 
I actually need help on debugging on what happens to the message when it is passed to 
spamassassin from MailScanner.  I actually need to know what MailScanner/SpamAssassin 
thinks is the bad url.

Is it the domain name of the server?  The name of the perl script? Something else I'm not 
seeing?

What does the MailScanner option:

	Debug SpamAssassin = yes

actually do?  Where do I read the debug output?

Any help would be appreciated.

Ian
