You need to make setting changes in your MailScanner.conf file located in /usr/local/etc/MailScanner/ In this file are setting for how spam is dealt with. Look for the setting: High Scoring Spam Actions = You will probably want to set that to delete. Also go through all the setting in this file. Once you have mailscanner running you should see subjects changed and also a footer added to each email. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
