Hi,
I am sure I posted this last Friday, but I have searched and searched and can't find it, so i've reached the conclusion i'm crazy.
First off, i'm very new to linux so it may be i'm being quite thick.
We have a dedicated server, which is running Fedora. We're using Postfix for our MTA, and also using MailDrop (for local delivery, right?).
I installed SpamAssassin last Friday and all appeared to be working well;
I created a test email account for myself on the server, and send myself some emails which were not flagged as spam (correct). I then sent myself some spam, which was correctly flagged as spam. All good.
However, with this new configuration as the sender of the email (be it spam, or legitimate) I recieved this error;
Code:
This is the mail system at host localhost.ccdigital.net.
I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster>

So whilst (as the recipient) I am definitely receiving the emails, the sender is receiving an error report saying it wasn't delivered.
I followed
this guide to install spam assassin.
Here is my updated version of /etc/postfix/master.cf
