Mailscanner with CRM114 - getting past "unknown" in headers

[Julian Field]

MailScanner will not preserve any extra headers added by SpamAssassin. 
All it uses from SpamAssassin is the spam score and the reports of what 
rules fired (in order to build the X-MailScanner-SpamCheck: header and 
the report added in the "attachment" spam action.

If you are getting SpamAssassin headers added, then my best guess is 
that you have spamd running (or some other way of calling SpamAssassin) 
and/or have the "sendmail" service chkconfig'd on. Do
    chkconfig spamassassin off
    chkconfig sendmail off
    chkconfig MailScanner on
    service spamassassin stop
    service sendmail stop
    service MailScanner restart
to clear it all up.
