List,

I still can't get it to work. Just to verify I did a fresh install of 
Solaris 9, sendmail, perl, perlmodules, clamav, SA and MD.
I did a vanilla config, that is no alterations except to get clam 
running and talking to MD.

MD is 2.45 (release), clam is 0.75.1, SA is 3.00.

Incoming messages are scanned by MD (X-Scanned by header exists), and if 
it contains any viruses the message is dropped. But when it comes to 
spam, it seems as the message never is scanned by SA... I dont get any 
spam score at all, even if I run a really nasty porn spam through it 
from an outside host.
Feeding the same piece of spam through SA with "spamassassin -x -t 
<spam" gives it a score of 6.3, the only logentry I get from syslog 
reads something like (this entry is from another spam):

Winners! 9-23-04 

 From what I've seen looking at the filter source there should be 
something more in "MDLOG,i8NDNPde021383,mail_in,,,.." to indicate it as 
a spam.

Is there anything I missed?
