It's listing this as spam as mailScanner is using the SBL+XBL RBL as a
definite source of spam. ie MailScanner is calling the RBL (not
spamassassin) and is it therefor saying it's spam.

Spamassassin is saying it's only scoring 3.09 which isn;t enough for
SA to classify this as spam as far as SA is concerned.
