Just yesterday I manually pushed a piece of spam through spamc and
spamassassin and got a different score too. It ended up being caused by
"time_limit". "spamassassin" didn't listen to it whereas spamc/spamd did
and the email took a loooong time to process - triggering the scores to
be different

I ended up just increasing "time_limit" to fix.

In the amavisd config?

Could that be affecting pyzor related timeouts too? (mine wasn't pyzor related - just a big message with lots of text and attachments)

Thanks.  The scoring can vary depending on when the pyzor callback
fails. For example, in another run, the pyzor error doesn't come back
until after more of the URI checks are done:

etc.  I.e., the scoring is completely erratic based on where URIBL
processing is when the pyzor callback fails.

That's similar to the behavior they're seeing. Much lower URIBL hits
than when running SA from the command line on the test MX, and the log
shows problems with pyzor (though the excerpt I saw didn't mention a
traceback, it just said "no output").

FWIW they're running amavisd-new, and we're trying to figure out why
the scores on MTA-processed messages are so much lower than when the
same message is passed through command-line SA in debug mode.
