Negative score, but marked as spam

Hi

I've set the SA-maillist adress to USER_IN_ALL_SPAM_TO in my config. This
has worked very well, until now.

One message that arrived had the following score, but was delivered to my
special mailaccount:

X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-100.0 required=5.0 tests=USER_IN_ALL_SPAM_TO
autolearn=no version=2.60

How come? The mail has a negative score!?

Thank you

/ Martin

Was there any chance the message was tagged by an earlier run of SA?

Sometimes messages get scanned twice by two different servers. The first
one tags, and the second one over-writes the X-Spam-Status header.

Hi Matt,

Not in my case, i only have one machine taking care of incoming mail, and
then deliver to my internal exchangeserver if legitime.

Any chance you did something silly like run it through with the -t
parameter on the SA command line?
