I just setup Qmail-scanner + spamassassin yesterday.

If you have an entry like
63.172.73.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

Spamassassin will NOT scan that message, or messages from those ip
addresses.

Header from yahoo.com (non relay client ip)
Received: from [EMAIL PROTECTED] by 11.goquest.net by uid 502 with
qmail-scanner-1.12 (spamassassin: 2.30. . Clear:SA:1(1.6/1.0):. Processed in
0.345283 secs); 20 Jun 2002 16:22:20 -0000
X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=1.6 required=1.0

Header from goquest.com (relay client ip)
Received: from [EMAIL PROTECTED] by 11.goquest.net by uid 502 with
qmail-scanner-1.12 (spamassa
ssin: 2.30. . Clear:. Processed in 0.055295 secs); 20 Jun 2002
16:28:53 -0000

Both of the messages had the exact same content.

Just to restate, if a message comes from a RELAYCLIENT it is never sent to
the spamd daemon.

This about drove me crazy before I figured it out
