Spamassissin compleatly ballsed - what to do?

[Colin Alston]

My spamassissin is compleatly stuffed.

I dont really know when or how it happend, possibly someone did a
package upgrade without informing me - these things happens.

Now however I get some very strange behaviour in Mailscanner.

Either this

X-Slipgate-MailScanner: Found to be clean
X-Slipgate-MailScanner-SpamCheck: spam, SpamAssassin (score=9.881,

Why on earth is it marked "Found to be clean" with a SA score that is way over the mark limit?

My High Scoring spam is set to 10.0 and Spam is set to 5.0, this should be marked as spam surely?

Or in the worst case I get this.

X-Slipgate-MailScanner: Found to be clean
X-Slipgate-MailScanner-SpamCheck: not spam, SpamAssassin (timed out)

This system used to work great and I loved it till a few weeks ago! No config changes have been made to MailScanner, what could be causing this?

Thanks
