spamhaus-ZEN is found but no points are awarded?

This is because MaiLScanner is doing the spamhaus check and not spamassaddin
- ie it's defined in Mailscanner.conf in the "Spam List" option.

Autowhitelist results vary - I find for a large ( > 10) mixed user base it's
not good and soon false positives badly.
