Whitelist and MailScanner/SpamAssassin

Hi,
I'm running :
Redhat 7.3
MailScanner: 4.10
SpamAssassin 2.43

I had a specific domain entered in MailScanner and SpamAssassin list.  When
I removed that domain form whitelists and stop/start MailScanner for some
reason that domain is still not scanned for SPAM!
I've  disabled whitelists and still this domain is ignored:

1.)
Is Definitely Not Spam = no
# Is Definitely Not Spam = /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.whitelist.rules

2.)
SpamAssassin Auto Whitelist = no
# mnh SpamAssassin Auto Whitelist = yes

How can I check if the new configuration is really set and MailScanner.conf
file is really reload properly?   All logs show successful re-load.
Is this something is the .spamassassin directory which overrides the setup
from MailScanner.conf file?
