Not necessarily. I am troubled with the same problem btw. The scoring
depends a lot on your settings and whether or not
MailScanner/SpamAssassin is using the same set of configuration files
than SA alone started by your user. Are you using Exim btw? Please post
the SCORES that a suspicious message gets via MS/SA and via spamassassin
-t.
