This issue has been a discussion thread on the spamassassin mailing
list of late. You may want to look at that mailing list's archive:
<https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/spamassassin-users/>
to see if that helps. You may also want to take your question there
where it's more relevant (not that people on this list can't help
too).
