Without knowing which is relevant in your case, it isn't possible to say how to adjust it. So if you have installed SpamSieve, consult its documentation for how to adjust its scoring. If you haven't installed SpamSieve, the score is being added by your mailbox provider and you should ask them what adjustments are available.</p>

</blockquote><p dir="auto">Yes. I believe MM recognizes various headers generated by different tools. I believe X-Spam-Score and X-Spam-Status (both optionally added by SpamAssassin) are both recognized, and possibly the X-less equivalents</p>
