Sir,
When I built the server, I had only SUSE 10.2 and SUSE 10.3 was just
out I think.  Our old server had a motherboard failure and could not
find a replacement quickly. So had to buy a new server and get the
server ready in a day.  I wish you will be kind enough to help me fix
my problem.


As I told you for SA score > Required SpamAssassin Score (= 3) it works.


see the 3 sample headers below:

Where

X-yoursite-MailScanner ---> is the old mailscanner before mail server (M1)
X-econdse-MailScanner ---> is the new postfix server (M2)

Here the mailscanner on new server gets almost equal score in 3rd
heardr, less in 2nd header and very less score in 3rd header and check
lesser lists.  Why this happens?





Find below 2 headers for mails which the old mailscanner finds as spam
and the new mailscanner finds as clean.

What should I do so that new mailscanner also gets a high score for
the above two mails and get tagged as {Spam?}
