command line spamassassin make not the same test as mailscanner

[Spicer, Kevin]

Well these are the tests that SpamAssassin picks up on its own (but not through MS)...
> RCVD_IN_OSIRUSOFT_COM (0.6 points)  RBL: Received via a relay in
> relays.osirusoft.com
>                    [RBL check: found
> 228.40.150.66.relays.osirusoft.com., type: 127.0.0.6]
> X_OSIRU_SPAMWARE_SITE (1.1 points)  RBL: DNSBL: sender is a Spamware
> site or vendor
> RCVD_IN_SBL        (0.6 points)  RBL: Received via SBLed relay, see
> http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/
>                    [RBL check: found 228.40.150.66.sbl.spamhaus.org.]
> 

...I'd say its pretty likely that RBL checks (like these) are disabled in spam.assassin.prefs.conf (and maybe MS is doing RBL checks)

You have two choices...
1) Let MS do the RBL checks (Make sure 'Spam List' is uncommented & has value in MailScanner.conf) disable spam checks in SpamAssassin (skip_rbl_checks 1  in spam.assassing.prefs.conf).  In this circumstance you may want to drop the spam threshold slightly...

2) Disable RBL checks in MS (by commenting 'Spam List' in MailScanner.conf - Don't change 'Spam Checks' though, that still needs to be yes.  Turn on RBL checking in SA by commenting skip_rbl_checks in spam.assassin.prefs.conf and uncommenting the names of the checks you wish to do near the bottom of the file.
