It is very nice having spamassassin in Contrib in 9.0, but after having some 
obvious spams get past spamassassin I took a look at the score file and found 
that it differs from the "official" spamassassin scores file in rather 
strange ways. 

The scores file can be found in /usr/share/spamassassin/50_scores.cf 

The scores file in the RPM will for example penalise mails originating from 
Kmail by +1.634 points instead of the -2.863 points in the 'official' scores 
file. 
(A negative score is indicative of non-spam) 

Another example: 
The mildly 'spammish' phrase "Congratulations" is scored as 0.218 points in 
the official score file, but is given a massively non spammish score of 
-3.077 in the score file in the RPM. 

In order to revert back to the 'official' scores, just download the 
spamassassin tar.gz file from www.spamassassin.org and decompress the 
compressed file (just clicking on it in konqueror is all you need to do 
this), then copy 50_scores.cf into /usr/share/spamassassin
