I'm having some strange effects with watermarking on Redhat/CentOS. I
want to use it to prevent scanning when it has already been scanned by
one of the other internal mail servers.

Use Watermarking = yes
Add Watermark = yes
Check Watermarks With No Sender = yes
Treat Invalid Watermarks With No Sender as Spam = nothing
Check Watermarks To Skip Spam Checks = yes
Watermark Secret = %org-name%-Secret
Watermark Lifetime = 604800
Watermark Header = X-%org-name%-MailScanner-Watermark:

When I send a test e-mail through two of the servers I still see the
following:

Both smtp.iaf.nl and mailscanner1.noc.iaf.nl run MailScanner with
watermarking enabled. So I think smtp.iaf.nl should detect the watermark.

Both IAF MailScanners seems to have scanned the message. Both have added
"Found to be clean".
