I've always done it the other way (MailScanner does the checks) but times change.  To reverse it, is it as simple as changing these from MailScanner.conf
	Spam Lists To Be Spam = 1
	Spam List = spamhaus-ZEN (or whatever one has in there)
and in the spam.assassin.prefs.conf setting skip_rbl_checks to 0 (zero)?

Will the "Spam Lists To Be Spam" setting matter if spamassassin is doing the checks instead of MailScanner?  If so, should that become zero as well?

Thanks...
