I could create a procmail rule that excludes local mail from SA, but I
would much rather like to whitelist this in spamassassin. Nevertheless
thanks for your offer to help with procmail.
Processing locally generated email that contain spam URLs through
SpamAssassin is not a particularly good idea. If you have Bayes
enabled then you are training your Bayes that spam URLs and whatever
else is in the log files are hammy tokens.
...if you have Bayse _autolearn_ enabled...
You really do want to skip SpamAssassin processing on messages like
this in your procmail.
