antispam doesn't work for forward mails

Hi

I have a problem with my antispam (spamassassin 2.64-3.2) because it doesn't analyze some messages that origin is other mailbox with forward action.
All this on the same server box (PSA-7.5.3)

For example:

1) my mailbox is aaa@domain1.com, with antispam analyze active and configured correctly.

2) the other email is info@domain1.com, without mailbox active, but the forward all the messages to aaa@domain1.com

3) I've received the messages in aaa@domain1.com but the antispam doesn't analyze and stop the spam directed to info@domain1.com

Why?

I doesn't activate a mailbox on info@domain1.com in other to PSA shows the antispam filter icon and then configure it, because I use info@domain1.com like a alias mail for generic messages to domain1.com

Thanks in advance
 
Instead of creating an account (no mailbox) 'info', why not just actually create 'info' as a real alias under the 'aaa' mailbox? Then the emails should be scanned by SA.

Because "info" have more than one mailbox that forward messages, i.e. info messages must be delivered to "aaa", "bbb", and "ccc" mailboxes.
 
Yeah, I thought of that after I posted this last night.
 
reply?

Somebody occurs the same problem or have a solution with spamassassin?

Thanks
 
The way I get around this problem is by using ART's (atomicrocketturtle.com) qmail-scanner package, which works with many AV programs and Spamassassin. It 'controls' the flow of things (email related). It does automatically have SA scan emails forwarded from my various email accounts to my main account (I can see it in the headers). It also has SA scan emails going from one domain to another which are hosted on the same server.
