Som pretty spammy mails pass spam test. When I check their header I see two spam score. Why is this:

    SpamTally: Final spam score: 100
 
The second score is from Easy Spam Fighter (ESF), if I am not mistaken. At score 100 it should be default be deleted by ESF, but since you received this email that clearly did not happen.
Default: "EASY_HIGH_SCORE_DROP = 100 - very high scoring spam is dropped at this score, and not allowed to enter"

ESF is not working correctly for me either and I fear that there is a problem between the interaction Spamassassin-ESF. Perhaps because ESF calls Spamassassin at score 55 and then just stops working:

Default: EASY_LIMIT = 55 - max score before an email is considered spam before SA is rung (main purpose is just to decide if SpamAssassin run is needed)"

I wonder whether there are admins that have a confirmed working ESF according to how it should work?
