Thanks Bill,

I guessed that logic was deciding whether to check for spam or not,
the config has these comments directly above that section:

## Anti-spam
## - spools, then scans
## - an alternative to the ACL method
## - only mail comming in via SMTP or ESMTP is scanned!
## - ASMTP, and
## - Ignored for callout verification

The only other section in the config that is dealing with spam is this
section:

spamcheck_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/local/sbin/exim -oMr spam-scanned -bS"
use_bsmtp = true
timeout_defer = true
transport_filter = "/usr/local/bin/spamc -u mailnull"
user = mailnull
group = mail
home_directory = "/var/spool/exim/scan"
current_directory = "/var/spool/exim/scan"
log_output = true
return_fail_output = true
return_path_add = false
message_prefix =
message_suffix =

So Im failing to understand where the logic is that is deciding that
some mails will be scanned and others not... :S

thanks Andy.
