Score is -35 but it is still marked as s p a m, why?

[Donovan Huff | HUFF DATA SYSTEMS]

Well unfortunatlly if I don't have auto whitelisting on it starts marking everything as spam for some reason that is unknown to me,
that is actually why I turned it on because low scores (those below five) were even getting tagged as spam.  As far as the "{Spam?}"
in the subject, that is added by MailScanner without doubt as it is listed in the config and changing it will change the tag.  If I
can resolve the issue where when auto white listing is turned off just about everything starts being tagged as spam even if it is
not found to be spam and has a lower than require score then I will turn off auto white listing.  Right now with auto whitelisting
on, it just tags some e-mail that it doesn't find to be spam and has a lower than required score with the modified subject line
addition of "{Spam?}.

Perl v5.6.0
MailScanner 4.13-3
