It is being quarantined. This is the whole header from the e-mail. There are no spamassassin scores in it. It looks like MailScanner tags it as spam and does not even rely on spamassassin.

David,

What do you mean by "filtered out"?  Do you mean it was quarantined or 
deleted?  What is in your maillog?

What are your values for:
Spam Actions =
High Scoring Spam Actions =
Non Spam Actions =

How about adding some verbosity to your MS setup?
Detailed Spam Report = yes
Include Scores In SpamAssassin Report = yes
Always Include SpamAssassin Report = yes
Log Spam = yes
Log Non Spam = yes  (beware it can produce a lot a output)
