Ignore SpamAssassin's internal settings - you'll find MailScanner overrides
most of them anyway (eg it does its own subject line mangling, header
insertions, and body alterations...)

What you need are rulesets for things like:
(High Scoring) Spam Modify Subject
(High Scoring) Spam Subject Text
Use SpamAssassin
Required SpamAssassin Score
High SpamAssassin Score
etc...
