Cool, but now I ve more questions! :-)

When the eMail arrived the score was 6.248. I repeat the testlist:

BAYES_00=-1.9, DKIM_SIGNED=0.1, DKIM_VALID=-0.1, DKIM_VALID_AU=-0.1,
  DKIM_VALID_EF=-0.1, DMARC_PASS=-0.001, FONT_INVIS_MSGID=2.497,
  FONT_INVIS_NORDNS=1.544, HTML_FONT_TINY_NORDNS=1.514, 
HTML_MESSAGE=0.001,
  RDNS_NONE=0.793, RELAYCOUNTRY_BAD=2, SPF_HELO_NONE=0.001, 
SPF_PASS=-0.001,
  T_KAM_HTML_FONT_INVALID=0.01, T_SCC_BODY_TEXT_LINE=-0.01

But when piping the eMail to spamassassin -D the score is 10.5! And 
RDNS_NONE gets a 1.3!

  2.5 URIBL_DBL_SPAM         Contains a spam URL listed in the Spamhaus 
DBL
                             blocklist
                             [URI: www.example.com]
                             [URI: example.com]
  0.0 SPF_HELO_NONE          SPF: HELO does not publish an SPF Record
  0.1 DKIM_SIGNED            Message has a DKIM or DK signature, not 
necessarily valid
  0.1 DKIM_INVALID           DKIM or DK signature exists, but is not 
valid
  2.0 RELAYCOUNTRY_BAD       Relayed through spammy country at some point
  0.0 HTML_MESSAGE           BODY: Nachricht enth<E4>lt HTML
-0.0 T_SCC_BODY_TEXT_LINE   No description available.
  1.2 FONT_INVIS_NORDNS      Invisible text + no rDNS
  1.3 RDNS_NONE              Delivered to internal network by a host with 
no rDNS
  0.0 T_KAM_HTML_FONT_INVALID Test for Invalidly Named or Formatted 
Colors
                             in HTML
  2.5 FONT_INVIS_MSGID       Invisible text + suspicious message ID
  0.0 HTML_FONT_TINY_NORDNS  Font too small to read, no rDNS
  0.9 DMARC_NONE             DMARC none policy

Let's just assume that the colleague is corresponding with a spammer and 
the colleague knows nothing about it. I'm just interested to know why 
the score is lower when the last mail arrived than in the current test. 
Is it because a few hours have already passed and the mail is rated 
differently in the DNS blocklists? Or could it be that something is 
still wrong with my configuration? However, I can see in the journal 
that every mail is checked against blocklists, may be not completly? 
This difference is now irritating me.
