If you configure MailScanner to use "spam lists" it WILL consider any
message in them to be spam.

Basically at the MailScanner level, any of the spam detectors will flag a
message a spam, just as any virus scanner firing off will flag a message as
containing a virus.

If you want to use score-totaling type behaviors, disable all the spam
lists in mailscanner, and enable DNSBLs in spamassassin (be sure to install
Net::DNS).

Spamassassin scores things, MailScanner does not.
