Spamassassin, mailscanner 3, etc.

[Rose, Bobby]

Since I've already hacked mine, I couldn't diff it but I've got it in
there now.  Works great.

Now to figure out the reason why I still see intermittent spam messages
that score less when they go thru the api than what is scored when
passed the commandline.  I still see a difference which doesn't make
sense.  The @wholemessage array is the same as the file I dump out.  One
message that I have scores 4.66 thru mailscanner but a 6.76 thru the
spammassassin -t.

A message that was tagged scored 9.16 thru spamassassin -t but 7 (int)
when mailscannner passes it off.

Here's the diff from the previous version:

---
 >       $SpamText->{$mID} .= "SpamAssassin ($spammy hits)";

<   # Don't care about return code in this case, we ignore it anyway
