I'm using exiscan and I have it configured the best I can figure out 
from the comments and from the documentation. I haven't found a single 
sample configuration which uses that configuration. Most of the stuff on 
the Internet seem older.

I'm pretty sure this is where my problem lies but I'm not sure what I'm 
doing wrong.

I'm making progress though I now have it scoring the email and rewriting 
the mail headers, but something is still not quite right.
