Re: Milter no longer rejects spam (postfix

[Damian Menscher]

Just a thought, but you can also confirm the milter is working
correctly by sending it test requests with milter_watch:
http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/itg_software/milter_watch/

That at least lets you isolate the problem to being in the
milter/spamassassin config, or in the postfix config.
