Thanks, Barry, this has solved my problem.
Additional Questions to the LIST:
1. What are you setting your SPAMASSASSIN Required_hits to??? in
/etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-mimedefang.cf
I tried 3 and it seems to reject 10 out of my 26 Actual Spam
Messages received by me sometimes in the past.
Is this acceptable??? Are you'll getting better results???
2. Are there any other script configurations that can be set to bust more
SPAM?
