-r not working as expected

[Todd Lyons]

I have my spamassassin set to mark an email as spam when it scores 4.5.
I have my spamass-milter set to reject email when it scores 6.0.

There is a window, from 4.5-5.9, where it should still accept the
marked-as-spam email to compensate for false positives.  ISTR testing
this once and it worked properly.  However, examining logs this
morning, I see that it's rejecting emails with scores in this range.
Here's an example:

Apr 27 08:45:42 smtp2 sendmail[16474]: n3RFj0Cv016474: Milter add:
header: X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=5.7 required=4.5
tests=BAYES_60,HTML_MESSAGE,\n\tHTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG,MIME_HTML_ONLY,RDNS_NONE,SPF_PASS,URIBL_RHS_DOB,\n\tURIBL_WS_SURBL,WHOIS_DMNBYPROXY
autolearn=no version=3.2.5
Apr 27 08:45:42 smtp2 sendmail[16474]: n3RFj0Cv016474: Milter: data,
reject=550 5.7.1 Blocked by SpamAssassin

I did verify that the daemon is called with the proper commandline options:
address@hidden ~]# ps ax | grep spamass-milter
 8856 ?        Ssl   22:12 spamass-milter -p
/var/run/spamass-milter.sock -f -m -P /var/run/spamass-milter.pid -r 6

Versions of software I'm running:
spamass-milter 0.3.1
spamassassin 3.2.5
sendmail 8.13.1 (shouldn't matter)

Is there anybody else who can verify that this is happening for them too?
