[AktiviX] What's with all the spam?

The email is piped through 
mailscanner ( http://www.mailscanner.info/ ), open source software from
Southhampton University.  This uses spamassassin  v2.63
(http://www.spamassassin.org) to assign a spam score.  Depending on the spam
score mailscanner will tag the mail as {Spam?} or not.  The break point is set
at a spam score of 9.  

You can see the spam weighting in the email header

X-burngreave.net-MailScanner-SpamScore: sssssss

so the offending mail that got through had a spam score of 7 - which is why it
wasn't tagged.
