I've been noticing some getting through too, but in closer inspection
its either the AWL rules beating the spam (ie -17 making it under 5 in
the end) or that the spoofed address is a whitelist address, like
@ato.gov.au.

I've also noticed that some are getting through MailScanner unscanned.
Beit that I'm running 4.35.9, the headers only have these lines:

As a test I just put the score higher (from 8 to 20).
I'm wondering if some of the mails are getting enough of a negative
score to push the score under the spam limit.

See how things go now...
