MS not scanning for spam and Spam Header missing! (FreeBSD 8)

Tried that too, it scans mail and then delivers it.
I've fine tuned the spam lists and turned on DCC and Pyzor, and I checks
various stuff in Postfix too.

Spam List = spamhaus-ZEN spamcop.net NJABL AHBL CBL MULTI-SURBL MAPS-RBL
SORBS-DNSBL BARRACUDA

# This is the list of spam domain blacklists which you are using
# (such as the "rfc-ignorant" domains). See the "Spam List Definitions"
# file for more information about what you can put here.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Spam Domain List = RFC-IGNORANT-DSN RFC-IGNORANT-BOGUSMX

Apparently the X-UNIX-ASP-MailScanner-SpamCheck: header is now only shown in
spam messages:

X-UNIX-ASP-MailScanner-SpamCheck: spam, CBL
X-UNIX-ASP-MailScanner-From: buh at zeldom.ru
X-Spam-Status: Yes

Spam filtering works (again) but I'm not very confident it will reach those
high spam scores I've seen in the past.

Anyone willing to share their anti-spam configuration?
