Nigel,
I've got this configuration working here (since yesterday :-) and it's
working fine, much easier to set up than other methods I've seen. However,
I've got a question: Can you think of a scenario where a message would hit
the spamcheck_director and _already_ be flagged as spam? I was about to
remove the header check, thinking it was superfluous (and also subject to
abuse by spam mailers), since I can't think of a situation where this would
be necessary.
Also, your comments say that you're scanning messages "that didn't originate
locally", but I don't see that as part of the condition. With this
configuration, a locally originated message to another local user _does_ get
checked (which is fine by me), but a locally generated message to some
non-local domain doesn't get checked.
Thanks for this simple configuration; hopefully you can shed some light on
these (admittedly) small issues.
