Header checks, even if triggered, do not prevent spam checks from running. > The reason for the question is: > I am seeing emails that are trapped with: > $final_bad_header_destiny = D_BOUNCE; > and have only the header: > X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER MIME error: ... etc. > But when the same emails are passed through SA manually they easily exceed > the spam kill score.
