"removes my spam headers"????

"it breaks the mime types"????

That is ***NOT QMAIL-SCANNER***

Q-S doesn't do either of those two things.

Can't you assign TWO addresses? One for your internal users to use, and one
for the Internet (via MX records) to use? Then Qmail-Scanner can be
configured to scan the Internet ones and not the local users one.

All headers cannot be trusted. I really doubt I'd ever support classifing an
external address based on what the headers tell me...

Face it. You have to use an "external address" and an "internal address".
Otherwise how else can any program distinguish between the two?
