X-foxbasealpha-MailScanner-Information: Please contact the ISP for more
information
X-foxbasealpha-MailScanner: Found to be clean
X-foxbasealpha-MailScanner-SpamCheck: not spam, SpamAssassin (score=0,
required 5)

However - when I run it through spamassin directly I get a full report
and a much higher score:
