I hoped that would be pretty clear. Look up the "Run As User" in
MailScanner.conf. Create a directory somewhere sensible and make sure that
user can write to it.
mkdir /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin
chown postfix.postfix /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin
Then set
SpamAssassin User State Dir = /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin
in MailScanner.conf.

If you have a suggestion for a clearer error message, I'm all ears :-)
