If X-Spam-Status and the report in the message body don't line up, you probably have an error in your MTA setup that's causing the message to be run through SpamAssassin twice. Double check your configuration.

Here's an example of such a mangled message (headers have been trimmed for clarity and privacy):

Subject: *****SPAM***** recuperate column
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on mepis1

Spam detection software, running on the system "mail", has 
identified this incoming email as possible spam.  The original message 
has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or block 
similar future email.  If you have any questions, see 
the administrator of that system for details.
