That the "received" headers (and the other smtp headers) remain intact is due to the mail client from which the user makes the forward (smtp servers always leave all the headers, or at least should do it). I know no mail client that keeps smtp headers when *forwarding* a message. > None of the programs they use seem to support such a feature.

It adds a few headers: Resent-From: Resent-Date: Resent-Message-ID: Resent-To: and keeps all the original ones. I think some other client I tested some time ago supported it, now I can't remember any one :-[. > but then everyone would have to have the password for the spam assassin > mail account, AND be running imap (many of them use POP). You're right. I've set up separate false_negatives mailboxes for every user using spamassassin in my company (they are only a few). > that adds inconvienience.. and the system would not be used.

Well, with the email clients I've tried it, it is as simple as dragging and dropping the messages from the inbox folder to the imap folder. Cheers -- Kiko
