Topic: Why would the same email get a variety of Spam Scores

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 1.7.1
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer? Downloadable
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 20.04
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): LDAP
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? Yes
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

I notice that the same email delivered to multiple accounts is not scored identically.  Is there a reason why this is?  I ask because I'm having issues with some legitimate messages hitting the spam threshold and I'm trying to prevent anything that might not be working correctly and this seems odd behavior.

Re: Why would the same email get a variety of Spam Scores

Here are log file entries.  Not sure I'm seeing how the SPAM score is being calculated.
