No, probably i did not properli communicated the idea:
spam messages are always accepted, then passed to spamassassin that filter
and eventually sort in a spam directory. deleting spam is up to final
user.
The thing i wish is to avoid spamassassin (that runs on the lower mx) to
consider in the weighting the fact that the message came from a
"trusted" local machine.
so a
received from mx20 by mx10
received from remote by mx20
should become for spamassassin:
received from remote by mx10
I can modify both exim.conf of all mxs, of course.
