Spam being delivered

Running SA 3.01 on Fedora Core 2 with Qmail. The problem is recently Im
showing emails getting delivered to mailbox with the ***SPAM*** in the
title, yet the rules state if the email is spam it shouldn't be delivered to
the persons mailbox. The headers even show the score is over the spam count:
6.0/3.0. Any reason why this would be happening? Im running the rules via a
MySQL database.

Thanks
Robert

Im using maildrop for that I believe. On a side note would you recommend I
use Amavis instead of maildrop?

"delivery" isn't SA's business, "scoring" is.  So it is Qmail that isn't
doing the routing right for some reason.

Check your QMail setup. Has anything changed there?  SA has nothing to do 
with delivery, it just classifies the message as spam or not spam.
