Spamassassin hinter einem Mail Relay Server

[Martin Kolb <ma...@martinkolb.net>]

Hi all,

I'm running a Spamassassin on a Debian Etch System in a Server, located 
in a computer center behind a mail relay server. Every incoming mail has 
to pass this mailrelay. So, I believe (maybe it's not the problem?) that
my spamassasin now thinks that all that mail is not spam, because it's 
delivered by the local network.

Usually my spamassassin classifies spam mails with a score about 2.0 to 
3.0 - only a few times higher. So, is there any possibility to tell 
spamassassin those circumstances? (Perhaps telling him that this 
mailrelay is bad at all...?) Or does anyone has another idea (except 
decreasing spam score to a dangerous level...)?

I also trained the spamassasin now with thousands of those incoming
spam mails... I also updated regularly.

Thank you in adavance,

Martin Kolb
