[sam] Configuration question with version 2.55 (negative scoring)

[Sysadmn]

Hello:

I am trying to use version 2.55 with DMAIL. The actual processing seems 
to flow ok but the score values are all negative values for "bad mails". 
As an example, I sent a really nasty mail to myself and the score was 
-28.4/5.0 rather than 28.4/5.0. This value was written into the syslog file.

Any ideas where I have gone wrong here?

The Mail server & SA is running on a fully patched Sun Box.

Thanks for any help.

Kevin
