[Mimedefang] Spamassassin & MimeDefang

[Rich West]

Since 2.x of SpamAssassin, I've been doing the same thing by 
symbolically linking /etc/maiil/spamassassin.cf to 
/etc/mail/spamassassin/migrate.cf.


Is there something else you might be doing within your filter to make it 
subtract 100 from the spam score?

Grr.. this is annoying. :(

Thanks for your (and everyone else's) help!
