Check the man page for Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf. Locate the
whitelist_from_rcvd option. That option will help you whitelist only
your logwatch messages. You'll need the "From" address and the hostname
of the machine which sends them, as recorded in the headers of a message
that you successfully received.
The "From" address is: root(a)kjc386.framingham.ma.us
which makes sense since it is being run directly as a cron.hourly
script. I have added this whitelist_from_rcvd to
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf. I guess I'll have to wait and see what
happens on its next few runs. The last of these emails that got tagged
as [SPAM] was 3:00 this morning. And the last one I missed was on 8/13
at 07:00 in the morning. I have restarted spamassassin after the changes.
Your other option is to simply not run SpamAssassin on messages that
you
receive from hosts under your control, but since you haven't told us how
you run SA, I don't know how you'd do that.
I had already tried to do that by adding this line to my
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file:
trusted_networks 192.168.6/24
and my mail server is on that network.... Do I need to do the same for
127.0.0.1? (since the email is originating on the same system as the
mail server?)
And, yes, I did state that spamassassin is running directly as a
sendmail milter, but you neglected to quote that in your reply.
