2 different scores?

[Evan Platt <ev...@espphotography.com>]

Ok, I've googled this, and perhaps I'm not searching with the right 
words or my search is too vague..

Running spamassassin on a os/x box,

SA is called from my procmail:

:0fw: spamassassin.lock
| spamc -s 512000
(Perhaps I have more than one spamc and I'm calling the wrong one?)

Just received a piece of spam with the below headers:

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.6 (2006-10-03) on
         www-espphotography-com.local
X-Spam-Level: **
X-Spam-Status: No, score=2.4 required=5.0 tests=HELO_DYNAMIC_HOME_NL,INFO_TLD,
         UNPARSEABLE_RELAY autolearn=no version=3.1.6

(Partial, obviously).

Ran it through spamassassin on the command line:

-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.6 (2006-10-03) on
         www-espphotography-com.local
X-Spam-Level: ********************
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=20.2 required=5.0 tests=HELO_DYNAMIC_HOME_NL,
         INFO_TLD,RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL,RCVD_IN_WHOIS_BOGONS,UNPARSEABLE_RELAY,
         URIBL_AB_SURBL,URIBL_JP_SURBL,URIBL_OB_SURBL,URIBL_SBL,URIBL_SC_SURBL
         autolearn=spam version=3.1.6

Any hints of what to look for as to why mail being received isn't 
scoring all that well?

The crontab entry launched on startup is:

<http://www.espphotography.com:10000/cron/edit_cron.cgi?idx=11>/opt/local/bin/spamd 


Any clues?

Thanks.

Evan

The first case obviously isn't using network tests.  -L on spamd startup? 
Permissions problem?  Different usercode than what you ran the test under? 
Different home directory?

I'd make a guess at the -L parameter as a first shot.
