RE: Exchange 2003 And Spamassassin
I am running Exchange 2003 with a FreeBSD box running SA as the front end relay and I am getting all my headers. If I right click on the message on outlook and click Options it has all the scores and everything in there. It also worked fine with Exchange 2k. I didn't do anything special to get it to work, it just has. I have about a dozen rules in Outlook that move messages based on the scores in the headers as well. If the email is coming into the Exchange 5.5 box and then getting sent to the Exchange 2k3 box from the 5.5 box, I would guess the 5.5 box is stripping the headers when it moves it to the other server. I'm not sure if you can tell the connectors to not munge the headers or not but I would guess that's where the problem lies. --Mike From: Martin Hepworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 12/15/2004 3:20 AM To: Jan Englund Cc: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: Re: Exchange 2003 And Spamassassin Jan Exchange is stripping the headers off.

Re: Exchange 2003 And Spamassassin
I use SA as a border gateway to Exchange 5.5, 2000, and 2003 servers in a dozen or so locations. I have no problem with headers or any other aspect of spamassassin. Exchange does not strip headers, however Outlook and Outlook Express do! But... Are you using your 5.5 server as an SMTP bridgehead to your Exchange 2003 infrastructure? If so, there lies your problem. In many cases (depending on configuration), the entire SMTP envelope will end up being replaced with an X.400 address to accomodate internal site routing. This is a total rewrite of the header and could be the cause of your problem. If you are using Exchange 5.5 as a gateway to an Exchange 2003 mail system, then the problem will go away once you finish your upgrade. Also (just a semantics thing) Spamassassin is simply a tool to score email. Your linux/unix MTA, likely using sendmail or postfix, is a managed relay host consistent with all RFC's. It is not up to Spamassassin to "support" Exchange or any other product except for Perl perhaps. Microsoft, on the other hand, has a ways to go on correctly adhering to RFC's. So the question should be, "does Exchange work properly with Spamassassin?" Am I nit-picky or what??? RO Jan Englund wrote: Hi We are running a Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2003 mixed mode environment.
