Please help me in understanding SpamAssassin and BoxTrapper a little better.
I am getting a lot of spam email don't understand it. I have SpamAssassin set at 5 and BoxTrapper set to 9.9. Below is the header from a typical header which shows a spam score of 24, spam status of no, score = 2.4.
1) I don't understand the difference between the 2 spam numbers. Which numbers do SpamAssassin use and which numbers do BoxTrapper use?
2) The X Ham report in the header shows " has identified this incoming email as possible spam" so again why did I get the email?

Code:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=2.4
X-Spam-Score: 24
X-Spam-Bar: ++
X-Ham-Report: Spam detection software, running on the system "ecbiz124.inmotionhosting.com", 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 label similar future email. If you have any questions, see root\@localhost for details.
