Looks like it is exceeding the "High SpamAssassin Score" and therefore 
getting handled by the "High-Scoring Spam Actions" instead of the "Spam 
Actions". There are by default 3 states a message can get into: normal, 
spam and "high-spam". Check the path through your config actions for 
high-scoring spam messages.
