Configure MailScanner NOT to call spamassassin in your mailscanner.conf file.

Either that or ONLY have MailScanner call spamassassin, and stop having SA 
called separately from procmail or whatever you did to call it a second time.

If you opt to have SA called outside of MS, make sure it is called only 
once per email, (ie: only in one of the two sendmails that MS uses) and 
preferably only as a part of the inbound sendmail process, not the 
secondary delivery one.

Really, IMO, It's going to be tough to have SA called outside MS without 
calling it twice. Especially if you're doing something like a sendmail milter.
