Setting Required SpamAssassin Score

[Jim Holland]

Hi all

I am running MailScanner version 4.79.11 under Debian 5 with Exim4 version 
4.69.

Using the default MailScanner.conf setting of:

	Required SpamAssassin Score = 6

I find that MailScanner is quarantining messages as spam when the score is 5:

MailScanner[16105]: Message 1PHew2-0004bD-71 from 196.27.122.30 
(postmaster at mango.zw) to smtp.mango.zw is spam, SpamAssassin (not cached, 
score=5.002, required 5, DATE_IN_PAST_12_24 1.77, INVALID_DATE 1.65, 
MISSING_HEADERS 1.58)

I append relevant config lines.

Could someone please help out this newbie to SpamAssassin?

Regards
