How to find why a mail is SPAM DROPPED ?

Hello all,
I'm really fighting with spamassasin as one ( legit ) mail get spam
dropped with a 99.90 value, also if I have put, in local.cf a required hit
of 100.
The mail is sent from a legit gmail account ( my daughter ) to me and
contains some amazon links for stuff to buy.
I have disabled bayes, just to be sure it was not the same as last time (
corrupted database ) but still cannot get the mail in to understand what's
catching SA attention.
Being dropped I cannot find the real motivations.
Any idea on how to get this mail through ?

TIA

Pierluigi

It was simscan, that is compiled with enable-drop.
The problem was a bad expression in blacklist_from section in local.cf

Sorry for the noise.

spamassassin does only tag, it does not drop

this is spam, not virus

spam if you configure it so
