For some reason spamd is not scoring email nearly as high as spamassassin scores if you run the message through manually. I do not understand this, and it is causing spam to get through that should have been blocked. As you can see when running spamassassin manually it scored it a 7.5, but spamd scored it only a 4.5 when it first came in.

Below is the message spamassassin shows when I run it through manually, and you can see the original email as well as the original score spamd gave it towards the bottom of the message.

What do I need to do to get spamd to give the same score spamassassin is giving? It looks to me like the rcvd_in_xbl rule did not fire for spamd, but did for spamassassin. What accounts for that?
