[Techtalk] Any postfix experts out there?

[Maria McKinley]

Having sent this, I am now not so sure my setup isn't working. All 
incoming mail seems to be spam-checked, and all outgoing mail from us is 
not (checked by us), so I think there must be something else going on 
with the alleged missing mail. One thing that has been strange is that 
this user seems to be somehow using different spam settings than the 
rest of us, but doesn't have a user pref for spam. For example, I have 
an override for how much SPF_FAIL is scored, but his incoming mail has 
SPF_FAIL scores that are the default. I don't understand how this can 
be, but I think I need to check his sieve settings.
