Under normal circumstances it would not. But for testing purposes I wanted to see if I could use my SA installation to test my own mail setup. Yes, it's a backwards thing to do but it would be a useful diagnostic. Fortunately mail-tester.com is nice enough to let us use their SA installation instead. I would still like to be able to test my mail against an SA installation that I have control over (not sure how thorough the /usr/bin/spamassassin < example.eml method would be) but for now mail-tester.com is good enough for me. > Or, are you saying you want to check outbound email?
