Spam not being flagged revisited

[Darian Rafie]

Okay,

I received four more messages, where the Spamscore was greater than the
threshold but the message was not marked as spam.  I am including one
header, as the rest are similar  Everthing in spam.whitelist is
commented out and only my local IP address is specified in
mailscanner.conf.   I don't see how this is a whitelist problem.  Any
ideas?

I am running 3.15-3, RH 7.2, SpamAssasin 2.20, Razor 1.19

I just upgraded to 3.15-3 and noticed something odd while testing.

---begin---
X-MailScanner: Found to be clean
X-MailScanner-SpamCheck: not spam, SpamAssassin (score=7, required 5,
        SUBJ_HAS_Q_MARK, EXCUSE_3, EXCUSE_7, OPT_IN, CLICK_BELOW,
        SUBJ_REMOVE)
---end---

In this particular instance, I forwarded myself some spam (the original
generated a much higher score) and thought it rather odd that a score in
excess of the required score would get a 'not spam' designation.

Any ideas?
