MS and SA diuffer

Hi,

I've just set up FuzzyOCR to take care of the Image spam that has
increased recently ... after still receiving untagged stock spam, I've
checked into the scores and stuff and noticed on a test message, that MS
has a lot less rule hits (and therefore less score points) than when
calling spamassassin directly ...

Here's what I got originally from MS:

X-nethinks-MailScanner-SpamCheck: not spam, SpamAssassin (Wertung=3.905,
	benoetigt 5, HTML_10_20 1.35, HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_32 1.05,
	HTML_MESSAGE 0.00, MIME_HTML_ONLY 0.00, RCVD_NUMERIC_HELO 1.50)

whereas the -t run from SA resulted in:

X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=25.2 required=5.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_99,
 FORGED_RCVD_HELO,FUZZY_OCR,HTML_10_20,HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_32,HTML_MESSAGE,
        MIME_HTML_ONLY,RCVD_NUMERIC_HELO,SARE_GIF_ATTACH autolearn=no

MailScanner.conf points to the right SA directory
(/etc/mail/spamassassin), there ARE image spams that get tagged with the
OCR-tags, so I don't really get it why the scoring differs this much ...
also with the Bayes score ... none on MS, 99 on SA ... !?

I'm still running MS 4.50, SA is 3.1.5 ...

Any idea where I could look for the cause of this?

Tnx!
