You should really use specific version numbers; your definition of 
latest could be different from others' point of view.

It's not a problem you fix by debugging or tracing. You have to look 
through the configuration file and pay attention to parameters such as 
"use spamassassin", the spam scores (which you can make higher or lower 
depending on your particular mail flow). You should also enable any 
auxiliary tools for spamassassin that you can (such as Razor, Pyzor and 
DCC) so that it can make a better analysis.

You don't clear it; you add your local IP addresses to a whitelist, or 
disable spam checks for your specific internal IP addresses using 
rulesets. You shouldn't whitelist names or domains, because those can 
usually be easily falsified.
