I expect it *is*. Probably all your inbound mail is being locked up in 
the Raq. I've been there, and it's unpleasant. 

First, you need to find your SpamAssassin installation. Try 
`locate SpamAssassin` or `find /usr -name "*ssassin*"` -- without 
the quotes, of course. Then you need to tell MailScanner where
to look, in /opt/MailScanner/etc/MailScanner.Conf. The variable
to set is "SpamAssassin Install Prefix". 

If `find /usr -name "*ssassin*"` fails, then try 
`find / -name "*ssassin*"`, but keep in mind that this will search
everything that is currently mounted on that machine, including 
all remotely-mounted (SAMBA, NFS, etc.) filesystems. That can be 
expensive. 

If this still fails and you haven't found the problem, then please 
reply to the list. 

¡Buena suerte!
