Has anyone seen this?

Its a minus score on Spam Assassin. Which is allowing junk to come
through:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=-84.4 required=5.1 tests=HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_20,
HTML_MESSAGE,HTML_SHORT_LINK_IMG_3,MIME_HTML_ONLY,MISSING_DATE,UR IBL_AB_SURBL,
URIBL_JP_SURBL,URIBL_OB_SURBL,URIBL_SBL,URIBL_SC_SURBL,USER_IN_WH ITELIST
autolearn=disabled version=3.2.4-gr0


The email is spoofing its a Microsoft partner who is selling Viagra. Soon as
I enter it in my black list, same type of email pops up with same minus score but from a different isp.

Thanks

In many instances that is the result of having your email address or Domain whitelisted under Whitelist From: and the spammers are forging your domain in sending their spam to you.

It is because USER_IN_WHITELIST adds a -100 to the score.
