spam tests on forwarded accounts

[Florian Effenberger <fl...@arcor.de>]

Hello,

I have several mail accounts on various servers, and most of them are being redirected/forwarded to my main account.

My main account is on a mail server with SpamAssassin, and spam detection works very well there. However, when I receive such a forwarded message, it is often not being recognized, as the sending/forwarding mail server is not blacklisted, so some spam tests like RBL or EHLO are not positive.

Is there any way to improve recognition?

Thanks
Florian

any trusted forwarding system should be in your trusted_networks. (and 
if you've declared it, internal too)

This will cause SA to recognize the "border" of your "network" as being 
the forwarder, and correctly apply RBL tests to the host dropping off there.
