SPAM scanned twice
SpamAssassin 3.4.5 (2021-03-20) on Suse Leap 15.2 (their distro IIRC)

Noticed that mail marked as SPAM was scanned again by SA after it had been
"disposed" as an attachment.

I uncommented "report_safe 0" and did a restart of SA. Next SPAM came through
as a normal email, still marked as SPAM and only scanned once.

Don't recall seeing that behavior mentioned anywhere and wondering if it is "working as designed"?

I think we'd need to know a bit more about how you have SpamAssassin connected
in with your MTA, and what your delivery paths are, to be able to comment
usefully.

I just forgot how email works, it seems.

It just now struck me it is not be rescanned at all, but merely has the information
posted again, so it appears as part of the "new message"? I thought it odd the
SPAM scores were identical. That should have been the first clue x four.

But, no . . .

In the words of Lt. Commander Data, I was "chasing an untamed ornithoid
without cause".

Perhaps sheepishly yours . . . .
