Conflicting scores in SA/MailScanner

current setup
RedHat 8.0
Sendmail latest RH up2date version.
SpamAssassin 2.55
MailScanner latest version from website
McAfee VirusScan for Linux

All of this was already set up previously with the exception of
MailScanner & McAfee. I installed that today. SpamAssassin was already
up and running using a sitewide configuration etc. I am very happy with
how SpamAssassin is working, I just wanted to add MailScanner so that my
email could be scanned for virii as well. If i understand correctly,
MailScanner calls SpamAssassin during its routine correct. If thats the
case, do I need to disable Spamassassin from running on its own?

Hi!

The header isnt something SA added, if SA is running inside MS its not
adding that.

So i guess you have SA running elsewhere.
Can you tell your current setup ?
