Thanks for the prompt reply.
Here are two examples of spamassassin info from emails I received:

(1) From: Tail Wagging Offers News Letter  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
     X-Spam-Score: 5
     X-Spam-Level: ***** (5)
     X-Spam-Flag: NO
     X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.28 (www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang)

My spam threshold is set to 1.5.  This email should have been flagged as
spam.  In addition,
my 'deny' list has an entry 'TailWaggingOffer'

(2) From: Prize Allocation Dept <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
      X-Spam-Score: 4.9
      X-Spam-Level: **** (4.9)
      X-Spam-Flag: NO
      X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.28 (www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang)

There is no entry in my 'allow' list that would match these senders.
