[Mimedefang] Multiple add: header:/ delete: header cmds

[John Prenis]

I'm wondering why mimedefang is doing this:

 Nov 25 10:22:35 mh1 sendmail[17169]: AmAPFMCLj017169: Milter add: header:
X-Spam-Score: 0.033 () AWL,HTML_MESSAGE

Is it stuttering?

But here's something from a different mail:

Nov 25 10:18:57 mh1 sendmail[7576]: AmAPFHxwY007576: Milter add: header:
X-Spam-Score: 0.501 ()

It's as if mimedefang is getting running updates from spamassassin:
"The score is 0.501-- No it's not - it's really 0.668. No, it's 0.751 - no, 0.801."
Is this normal?

Sendmail is 8.13.1, log level 15, MD log level 9.
Mimedefang-filter is just the simple one that adds the spam score to an email.
