Re: not scoring correctly

It is not all that unusual to see differences in SA when run from the command line.  Have you looked at what scores are being hit on the actual incoming message (amavisd-new log level to 2)?

should lower the SA load.

Glad it helped.

    
I'm sure it did tremendously, thanks again. But WOW! Look at this one
where the logs indicate it was scored at 4.441 as I received the
message, but if I login as the vscan user, I get a score of 5.8...

What other things can contribute to this type of scenario?
