My own problem was that many emails got -5 score from DNSWL_HI.
I changed my server DNS to use the local server ones.
DNS servers making too much query a day will automatically receive IN_DNSWL_HI response from them (google dns servers for example).
The best way to look at why spams are getting through is usually to look at the header and see what happened with the scoring.
getting -5 score on all spam make them a LOT more likely to get through.
I still haven't found a way to disable DNSWL verification.

To disable a test give it a zero score in a .cf file in /etc/mail/spamassassin, such as /etc/mail/spamassassin/configserver.cf which will already exist if we installed MailScanner for you. Add a line such as this:
(Make sure the test name is exactly as it is shown in the spamassassin report.)
