Spam Assassin not catching spam over the threshold
I have SA set to flag all mail with a score of 2.0 or more. All flagged
spam gets sent to a special mail box (The spam folder seemed pretty
useless to me since it is just one big file which is difficult to read
and which does not allow me to forward False Positives so we have
altered the exim config file to send all spam to another email address
which I can then view using my Web mail and delete or forward any mail
as I wish.
The problem here though is that SA is missing messages which have a
score higher than the threshold:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.3 required=2.0 tests=BAYES_00,HTML_80_90,
HTML_FONT_BIG,HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_QP_LONG_LINE autolearn=no
version=3.0.4
This happens on a regular basis (several dozen each day) Why is it
doing this? How can I fix this?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that says Score =-2.3 - Negative 2.3.

Must be that new math stuff or something. When I went to school I was
taught -2.3 was less than 2.0. (And 2.0 is a ridiculously low spam
threshold.)

Yes, I got out my calculator and figured this out. ;o) (Actually it is
not clear in my email program and I simply did not see that negative
sign.) My apologies for troubling you.

-2.3 is lower than +2.0.
