there a way to aboid spamassassin to check for spam in smtp athenticated

Hi.
This is a question probably better asked on the MailScanner mailing list.
But here's what I do (I use Exim, MailScanner, and SpamAssassin).
I've created a perl module called CheckSMTPAuth.pm that I've placed in
the /etc/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/ directory.
It's contents (slightly modified here) are as follows:
package MailScanner::CustomConfig;
# Package to check message headers to determine if a message was
# recieved via an SMTP AUTH connection.
# The header it is checking for is configured to be added by the Exim
# mail server when an authenticated session is detected.
# Using this function, I can add the following to MailScanner.conf
# to skip spam checks for authenticated users:
#
# Spam Checks = &CheckSMTPAuth
#
use strict;
sub InitCheckSMTPAuth
{
# Empty
}
sub EndCheckSMTPAuth
{
# Empty
}
sub CheckSMTPAuth
{
my ($message) = @_;
return 1 unless $message;
foreach (@{$message->{headers}})
{
if (/X-Some-Header-Added-For-Authenticated-Users: Yes/)
{
MailScanner::Log::InfoLog("Message %s from
(%s) is authenticated", $message->{id}, $message->{fromuser});
return 0;
}
}
return 1;
}
1;
As you can see in the comments, I call this from the 'Spam Checks'
directive in the MailScanner.conf file.
It also relies on your mail server adding a header when authenticated
users are encountered.
For the above code example I just wrote it as
X-Some-Header-Added-For-Authenticated-Users: but that's not what I use.
The header added shouldn't be known to the outside world.
It's important to also make sure your mail server strips this header
from any outgoing emails.
You don't want people to know what it is.
I don't know how this is done in postfix so you'll have to research that
yourself.
For Exim I do the following:
To add the header, add the following to the acl_check_rcpt section of
the Debian exim config:
accept
authenticated = *
add_header = X-Some-Header-Added-For-Authenticated-Users: Yes
control = submission/sender_retain
To strip the headers from outgoing emails, add the following to the
remote_smtp transport in the Debian exim config:
headers_remove = \
X-Some-Header-Added-For-Authenticated-Users
Hopefully that helps and gives you an idea of what to do with postfix.
