Running SA on mail gateway and mail server

[Paul Porter <pp...@vicor.com>]

Hello,

I have just installed a mail gateway box to soften the load on our 
internal mail server. Both servers are running SpamAssassin (details 
below) and I noticed that the internal mail server is scanning messages 
from our mail gateway eventhough they have already been scanned and 
marked up.

Is there a way to tell SpamAssassin on our internal mail server to not 
rescan mail which is already marked up?

Here are the details:

Mail Gateway: SpamAssassin 3.0.1 and Postfix on RedHat Enterprise Linux 4

Mail Server:  FreeBSD 4.10 box running Postfix, SpamAssassin 2.63, and 
ClamAV (via Amavis).

Thanks,

Paul

Yes, check the archives for the answer. I'm not a postfix/amavis person, 
but i've seen this asked many times and there have been many good solutions.
