[Mimedefang] Use X-SPAM-SCORE instead of X-SPAM-STATUS

I think I do not understand you. Mimedefang has no own scoring. It uses
Spamassassin if it is installed alltogether. Maybe you did not read the
instructions for combining Mimedefang with Spamassassin which tells you,
that SA does not exactly behave the same way when called by Mimedefang as
when used with i.e. procmail. It does not respect user defined instructions
but is system wide configured. So you have to edit
/etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-mimedefang.cf or local.cf in there for your needs.
Is it that you stumbled about?
