Hey! Do not mix options for spamc and spamass-milter! Put all the options back
as they were, and then
(I do not know spamass-milter, but your message has the help in it!)
add
-- -x
to the end of the milter call. See the last line of then milter usage:
> -- spamc args: pass the remaining flags to spamc.
-x for milter is different from -x for spamc! Same goes with -f and -F !!
