Hm.  That's progress... not sure why my test message didn't work
once I turned of whitelisting, but yours came in with a score of 10.

However, mailscanner didn't note it as spam or update the subject line:

Subject: SpamScore test

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

X-MailScanner-SpamCheck: SpamAssassin (score=10.1, required 5, AMAZING,
        FULL_REFUND, PROFITS, GUARANTEE, PRINT_OUT_AND_FAX, CALL_FREE)
X-SpamAssassin: ssssssssss
X-MailScanner: Found to be clean
X-MailScanner-SpamCheck: not spam, SpamAssassin (score=0, required 5)


Why else would the final score come out 0?

(I have Log Spam = yes ...)

Thanks Jim for the test message though.
