Hi

make the following changes to MailScanner.conf and you'll get detailed
reports in the header as why (or not) MailScanner marked things as spam.

Spam Score Number Format = %5.2f

Detailed Spam Report = yes

Include Scores In SpamAssassin Report = yes

Always Include SpamAssassin Report = yes

Spam Score Number Format = %5.2f
