You do realize that spamassassin by default encapsulates spam messages, and generates a new email with new headers, right?

Look at the attached spams and see what their origins are.. If THOSE originate at localhost THEN worry. Otherwise, SA's just behaving as configured.

running using procmail/postfix

I also have amavisd running too.

I am concerned that someone might be using my mail server to send
spam. I have received a couple of emails with the headers quoted
below. My mail server SHOULD be using AUTH only, no anonymous and no
POP before SMTP. What concerns me is that there is only one Received
line in each of the messages below, and that it received it from
localhost. Everything is intact below, except I've inserted <my domain
here> substituting my actual domain name.

Also, the 2nd email header looks like it might be from a form mailer.
I'm hosting many domains, and I'm looking for suspect scripts. I'm
using Red Hat Linux, and Postfix as my MTA. Thanks for anyone that can
give me
advice, pointers, etc...
