Hello All,
I noted Giuliano's comments about spamassassin headers, and realized that it
presented a problem for me too.
Since I run spamassassin (yep, I am a damned spamassassin user), if emails
come to me with the spamassassin headers in them, my system doesn't run
spamassassin against the email, assuming that it has already been checked.
I would love to remove the headers immediately upon receipt, (and wouldn't
mind removing them just before transmitting them) to keep this from
happening.
Will headers_remove in the remote_smtp transport do both without adverse
effects?
Terry

From what I see Chris wants any authentication to succeed, not a
proper authentication, since those users are not local users in the
usual sense.
First I would say that, contrary to what Chris stated, most ISP do
not use auth, as it is a configuration nightmare (mostly with win
based garb.).
Second, why do you want to use auth, since you are not using it... I
would instead not advertise AUTH, so that, if you are lucky, the
clients will *not* attempt to authenticate.
If you really want to use AUTH, it should be no problem to write the
required authenticators and have them always succeed, that will solve
any configuration problem even with the worst MUA. Just remember to
protect this by not just allowing authenticated clients that are not
in the local network (forwarded or not!).
And, I see from Terry email that there is no limit to the fantasy of
those damn SpamAssassin users in the naming of their headers... [I
want regex in headers_remove!]
