Presumably since you're asking about this, you're probably running sendmail and calling SA using a milter like spamass-milter. It works fine but as you say checks outgoing and incoming because sendmail calls the milter for ALL messages. it's up to the milter to figure out incoming vs outgoing. If you're using spamass-milter I have a patch that will prevent SA calls on outgoing mail. -- Dale Morin, Mustang Internet Services, Inc.
