Hi,

I have doing some checking of spam messages that make it through our mail filtering systems and noticed that the spam score does not reflect what I get when checking manually.

An example spam report:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=3.068 tagged_above=-9999 required=5
tests=[BAYES_50=0.001, HELO_DYNAMIC_DHCP=3.066, HTML_MESSAGE=0.001]
X-Spam-Score: 3.068



But when using "spamassassin -D -lint < $message" it hits more rules:

Content analysis details:   (12.5 points, 5.0 required)

pts rule name              description
---- ---------------------- --------------------------------------------------
3.1 HELO_DYNAMIC_DHCP      Relay HELO'd using suspicious hostname (DHCP)
2.0 TVD_FUZZY_DEGREE       BODY: TVD_FUZZY_DEGREE
0.0 HTML_MESSAGE           BODY: HTML included in message
3.5 BAYES_99               BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 99 to 100%
                           [score: 1.0000]
3.9 RCVD_IN_XBL            RBL: Received via a relay in Spamhaus XBL
                           [41.212.143.24 listed in zen.spamhaus.org]
0.0 RCVD_IN_PBL            RBL: Received via a relay in Spamhaus PBL
                           [41.212.143.24 listed in zen.spamhaus.org]

That is a big difference!

Any ideas about why this is?

Thanks,
Randy Ramsdell
