The original question is a restatement of yesterday's "how to force SA
to scan mail that send from php" post.

My reading of the situation (which might be wrong) is this:

The Original Poster wants to do some sort of project that will give
statistics on the accuracy of spamassassin. He has followed a recipe
that installs qmail with qmail-scanner, and has got a php script that
will send mail to the mail server. But the mail server appears to skip
the scan for local messages, so the project is getting no statistics.

The solution to this problem is to work out how qmail-scanner decides
what to scan, and change it. Unfortunately, I can't help there. I would
try doing a manual smtp connection from the local machine (telnet
localhost 25) and take it from there.

But my worry is that sending a load of e-mail via a php form will
produce hopeless project results, because it will effectively only test
the value of spamassassin's body checks. But perhaps that's part of the
plan.
