Ross,

Thanks for the info: I use exiscan, and I've confirmed that SA is adding 
the X-Spam-Report header, because when I change the 
clear_report_template in /usr/share/spamassassin/10_misc.cf, the changes 
are shown on subsequent emails. However, the /etc/spamassassin/local.cf 
file doesn't seem to override the defaults: I have, as I said, a command 
"remove_header ham Report" in local.cf, but it's not effective, so I'm 
trying to figure out what's overriding it.

I'm running Exim4-daemon-heavy, with a stock Debian Sarge install and 
split config files: it was a network install I did about two months ago.

All I can think of is that Exim4 is calling spamd with an unproductive 
option. All suggestions welcome!

TIA.

Bill
