Hi Linda,

That seems reasonable to me. Exim calls SpamAssassin and gets back a report on the message. If SpamAssassin is using Message Sniffer, then the report to Exim will include Message Sniffer's view.

There may be a way to call Message Sniffer directly, but I don't see it in the documentation.
