If you're running MailScanner, and MailScanner is running SpamAssassin
directly, then I don't understand why spamc and/or spamd would be
involved in any way at all.

Would you mind explaining just how things are installed, and who does
what, and with which, and to whom? Then we'll all have a somewhat
better understanding of what's going on.

Output from `ps awux | grep -i mail`, or its Linux equivalent, would
be useful, too.
