We're seeing a lot of these lately:

Apr 25 10:33:32 external-smtp MailScanner[23350]: Message 75AE584846 from
4.7.254.117 (lnwbompvnxmso at attorney.ac) to localdomain.com is spam,
spamcop.net, CBL, DSBL, SBL+XBL, SpamAssassin (score=0, required 7,
autolearn=not spam)

This mail is certainly spam, but SpamAssassin doesn't have rules for it and
hence not only gives it a 0 score but autolearns it as not spam. This is, of
course, badly messing with our Bayes database. Is there any way to tell it
(via MailScanner?) that if it hits 1 or more spam blacklists (4 in this
case) it sohuld be autolearned as spam, regardless of SpamAssassin score?
