Thanks - that's what I suspected but wanted to make sure I 
could rule them out.

The digests don't necessarily fire on these.  There were a couple, but many of the messages didn't pop on  the digest tests.  

I have looked at the content.  It's all above board.  The actual spam scores are generally in the negative range.  It's just the presence of the google address that's tripping them up.  But it's not all google addresses.  
 
MailWatch doesn't report which RBL was being triggered and looking at the 'raw' messages in the /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/<DATE>/spam directory doesn't offer any clues as to which either.  All kind of a mystery.  I'll grab one of the raw messages and run it through MailScanner in debug mode if I can find my notes on doing so.  It's probably on the wiki.

That's the problem with MailScanner & spamassassin - they're so darn reliable that it's months and months between issues that I forget how to use them! <g>
