To be sure the score is my server's score, I generally use an ACL like this:
        warn
        spam            = nobody:true
        add_header      = X-Spam-Score: $spam_score ($spam_bar)
        add_header      = X-Spam-Report: $spam_report
        log_message     = Spam-score: $spam_score


It let's you look at the spam score directly in the logs.
