MailScanner, SpamAssassin, and all VirusAV checks are done on the
same machine. MailScanner is set:

Use SpamAssassin = yes

So when I get a message in my mailbox that looks like SpamAssassin
tagged it as 20.5 (high scoring spam) versus MailScanner which tagged
it as 6.8 (my threshold is set at 7) I'm a little curious as to how
MailScanner came up with it's figure and not used the 20.5 figure. I
always thought that MailScanner used SpamAssassin's figure.

I am also using Rules du Jour with my set up to add some additional
rulesets to SpamAssassin which is where the other custom rules came
from.

My setup with MailScanner has been working beautifully since I
installed it back in March, and this is the first thing to come
through that has really stumped me.
