How have you done this?   Please post the relevant bits of your
MailScanner.conf (without comments).

Check the headers of an email which gets delivered - make sure it got
processed by your MailScanner, and check the syslogs on the mail server when
it processed the mail - see what it says for "Spam Actions:" just after
logging all the reasons why it got tagged as spam.

If you are using sendmail, then these can be configured in your virtusertable:

baduser at mydomain.com            error:nouser No such user

If you're not using sendmail, maybe someone else can suggest how to do this.
