You guys are all correct. Somehow I've been overlooking that message - I
must have misread something. Either way, thank you so much for the help;
I've set up unbound, so hopefully that should solve the issue.
Sorry, and thank you!

Subject: SpamAssassin scoring issues
Hey all! I'm having issues with SpamAssassin; it's assigning emails
scores that are way lower than it should. In addition, the scores it's
assigning as emails come in are different from the results of running
SpamAssassin -t on that same email after the fact.
I'd like to avoid posting too much text in a single email, so here's a
link to a Reddit post I made outlining the issues I'm having:
https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/660n2w/spamassassin_scores_are_oddly_low_different_from/
If anyone has any clue what the issue is or is able to help, please let
me know! I'm getting flooded with spam emails to the point that it's
hard to find my actual legitimate emails in my inbox... thank you!!!
Are you hitting the URIBL_BLOCKED rule? If so, please follow the
link in that reddit article to get rid of that rule hit. This is very
important.
Minor scoring differences are to be expected based on the passing
of time and RBL listing changes but if you are hitting the URIBL_
BLOCKED rule then basically RBLs are not working properly.
What MTA are you using? It's best to fine tune the MTA to do RBL
checks that will block the majority of the spam/junk before it reaches
SA. Make sure you are using zen.spamhaus.org and b.barracudacentral.org
RBLs at a minimum. If you are using Postfix, enable postscreen and
refer to the SA mailing list archives to posts that reference senderscore.org
which is another valuable RBL best used in a weighting fashion with
postscreen.
