The return-path looks a little iffy to me, have you white listed
yourself or your domain ? (hint: not a good idea).

Thanks, quick reply! (Thanks too Daryl, also quick)

So I take it USER_IN_WHITELIST also checks Return-Path? I wonder where
Return-Path is being set? Is it likely to be set by the spammer? Or is
my system adding it in somewhere (probably in error).

Anyway, yes I did whitelist my domain owing to a few false positives,
(my wife asking about money or s** or both?) Whitelisting seemed the
obvious but clearly wrong idea. The relevantt line will be this one in
/etc/spamassassin/local.cf:

whitelist_from  [EMAIL PROTECTED]   (yep thats my domain)

So is there any better way to do it? (Clearly there will be, but I don't
yet know what it is, your further help will be appreciated)

man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf

Look for 'whitelist_from_rcvd'. It will be your friend here, perhaps.

But one wonders why you must whitelist your own domain....
