Did it get any X-MailScanner: header at all?<br>
If not, then it probably didn't go via the MailScanner server.<br>
If it did, then what did the header say? What is in your mailscanner.conf
file?<br><br>
Unless it is told to, MailScanner doesn't care what addresses are in the
email message.<br>

<dd>>Is this normal? <br><br>
<dd>Did you run the email client program on the machine that is running
<dd>MailScanner, by any chance? If so, did you make the email program
talk SMTP
<dd>to localhost:25 or did it invoke sendmail directly? <br><br>
<dd>MailScanner (when running with sendmail) can only scan mail coming in
the
<dd>SMTP port. There is no way (with sendmail) of scanning mail poked
directly
<dd>at the sendmail binary.
