I think you may misunderstand.
We have a certain email, that is spam. Lets call it 'A'.
When the email A passes through the mail system, it is grabbed by
MailScanner, which in turn puts it through SpamAssassin. The mail is then
delivered if the score is less than the threshhold (5), otherwise
quarantined. In our situation, the email 'A' has made it into our inbox,
with a score of 1 (which is indeed less than 5). However, if from the
console we run a manual spamassassin test (spamassassin -t < A) on the 'A'
email, then spamassassin returns a score of 23, which is somewhat higher
(and more correct given the content of the email) than the original score of
1.
There are several possibilities:
1. the user running spamassassin/spamc from your mail system has a
per-user config that alters the final score
2. this user has no permissions to system's rules directory or files
Try running spamassassin -t with this user's permissions. Probably you'll
get a low score.
