Well, 

My goal is to reject as much as possible at the gate, so far, SA +
ClamAV plugin is proving very effective.

Without digging into MS code, I assume it calls spamd and collects the
results.

If this is true, I don't see how different configs are being used.

On top of that, I have another identical server, running the same
config, just with a very old MS version.

The above system does see all SA test & scores, I've tried everything
but rape and still could not find why this system behaves differently.

Regards,

Dudi
