I've brought this up a few weeks ago but unfortunately I didn't get any
good ways to resolve this problem, so here is more detail. I have a POP
account that I collect via fetchmail and run through my local MIMEDefang
install. The real quirk is that the spam is able to get through
SpamAssassin for some reason. Currently, I drop messages that score
over 10 and flag at 5. I threw in an additional log (spamdebug) which
records right after the SpamAssassin check to show what the score turned
out. For my normal mailing list stuff etc it's all in the -7 range and
is fine. Here is a log snippet for one that got through. If I'm
reading it right, and I think I am ;), the message comes in, gets
flagged at a 14.5, is marked to be dropped, but is then delivered. My
filter is practically stock. I do not have any exceptions for localhost
or the like. Does MIMEDefang have provisions to allow messages sent
from localhost to not be dropped?
