You should just get the X-MailScanner-SpamCheck: header, none of the other
SpamAssassin headers will appear. Try sending the SpamAssassin sample spam
message through it, that should show you.

What RBL's are you using? the MAPS-RBL+ is only available to JANET sites
unless you pay MAPS yourself, and the only other one I have left in is ORDB
(I think). Find an open relay in ORDB and send yourself some mail via it.
If you can't find an open relay, drop me a line and I'll dig one out for
you to try.
