Yes, simscan rejects scores of 12 or higher, and tags scores 6.0-11.9  No
need for smtp auth...this is supposed to strictly be to process incoming
mail and pass it on to another server.

If I understand what you're saying, simscan should reject spam with scores
12.0 or higher, BEFORE smtproutes forwards it to the other server, right?
This is what I want it to do.
