[Cialug] Ridiculous Spamassassin Behavior

I'll look into doing it this way.

I currently have it setup similar to what you have:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated

I'll take a look when I have chance to confirm.

can you move it from spamassassin to postfix?  I'm doing pretty much the 
same, but the RBL checks are in postfix, not spamassassin.  postfix 
claims first match wins, and I haven't seen any problems, though I'm 
sure my user base is much smaller

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
	permit_sasl_authenticated,
	##various other checks##
	reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org

And since I have a spam gateway already in place on my firewall, I disabled spamassassin completely until I get the configuration sorted.  I wouldn't even have it at all if it weren't for the 5% of spam getting by the gateway.  As it WAS configured, I was catching close to 100% of it.  We'll see if disabling RBL lookups impacts that.
