SpamAssassin cache hit inherits original spam score?

[Jonas Akrouh Larsen]

Hmmm so does that mean that if a mail was not marked as spam at 10:00 and
cached, then gets delivered again at 11:00 (now hitting more rbl's and other
network related test) it still wont be marked as spam because the score was
cached from the first occurrence?

If that’s true then using the cache have a negative aspect I hadn’t thought
of before.

The cache does not store whether it was spam or not, it just caches the 
score points.
So I'm not at all convinced you are seeing the behaviour you think you 
are, this may be the result of something else happening.
