One of our clients receives mail from another client which is on the same server.
But every e-mail this person sends gets blocked by spamassassin running on our server.

When I do this from our server from several test domains everything works fine.
But this client keeps getting troubled.

NE1 got an idea?
 
Is the mail that's being blocked originating on your server?

The largest number of points is coming from HELO_LOCALHOST. That means the server sending the mail is identifying itself as localhost. Why? I don't know.

And I can find this in exim config probably?
Strange thing though... Users have spamassassin completely disabled. Admin gui doesn't show the spamassassin link (coz I've disabled it for them) and it still blocks the email.
Code:
Spam detection software, running on the system "ns4.ourhost.nl", has
identified this incoming email as possible spam.  The original message
has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label
similar future email.  If you have any questions, see
the administrator of that system for details.

If SpamAssassin was ever turned on for the domain, then if it still runs on the server, removing it from the control panel doesn't change any of the settings.

That sucks balls.. (so to speak)
How can I disable it then?
 
Just to kick this topic to the top of the list..

I want to uninstall spamassassin, because it keeps blocking valid email. raising the counter to 20 doesn't stop it..
How do I remove spamassassin in a neat way?

Please assist since this is driving us crazy.
 
When we're asked to shut off SpamAssassin we don't remove it from the server, but simply comment out the section in exim.conf that we uncommented when we installed it, and restart Exim.

SpamAssassin doesn't use any resources to speak of when nothing is being sent through it :).
