I tried using spam_passthru but had too many issues with maildrop that
in the end I just stuck with this setup and it worked well until this I
recompiled. 

My compile options for simscan are

./configure --enable-user=clamav --enable-clamav=y --enable-spam=y
--enable-spam-hits=10 --enable-per-domain=y
--enable-custom-smtp-reject=y --enable-attach=y --enable-ripmime
--enable-received=y --enable-spam-auth-user=y
--enable-spamassassin-path=/usr/local/bin/spamassassin
--enable-spamc=/usr/local/bin/spamc

According to the wiki if you want to use the options --enable-spam and 
 --enable-spam-hits=number you should not use --enable-spam-passthru.

Although reading the wiki it would appear that this is not happening as the 
description says:
quote:
 "Perhaps the most popular method is a mix of the others. Which is to reject 
email that scores 
very high and to pass through other email to the user even if it is marked as 
spam. This seems 
to help with the "false positive" issue; email marked as spam but not really 
spam. Use these options:
 --enable-spam
 --enable-spam-hits=number
   where number is the spamassassin score at which you want to reject the email"

Anyway this is working well for me now, so no need to change anything. I can 
live with simply 
telling SA that spam has an incredibly high score and letting simscan work it 
out from there.

cheers
Shane
