I have installed MailScanner FE and recently I started to notice outbound spam from one of the accounts
going to logs I found this
grep 1ja0kz-0004qR-E2 /var/log/exim_mainlog

Where the source of the spam seems to be a local script, actually /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming
Did someone encountered this before?
Outbound spam seems to originate from mailscanner
Re: Outbound spam seems to originate from mailscanner
That doesn't mean that MailScanner sent it, I believe that line is going to be there for every email that mailscanner processes. Exim may not be reporting the actual script used because it is a retry or a bounce message. You might want to search for other emails sent by that user to see if they contain different information, or check MailControl for the headers for more information.
