SpamAssassin and Mailscanner config problems

You know, maybe the reason its not delivering "attachment" is because of cgp2ms and ms2cgp scripts.......  We did some major troubleshooting on this list few months ago with those...
At this point I am baffled.  Talking to myself doesnt help :))))))))

Ok, heres an update......  Everything is working, I can set the rules for different domains to either get virus, spam or both.  Neat.  Now the only 2 things that arent working:
 
1.)    When I set the delivery option to "attachment", I never get the message.... Only "deliver" option works.  In the logs, I see my test message being found as spam........  Any ideas?
2.)    The subject still doesnt have the "spam score".  I used to be able to rock the score in the subject of all spam messages, so I could filter by subject and look at the first 10 to see if SpamAssassin caught anything incorrectly....
I used to be able to just set the following in the spamassasin config:
 
(right now its in /etc/mail/spamassasin/config.cf and /opt/Mailscanner/etc/spam.prefs.conf)
rewrite_subject 1
subject_tag ----SPAM---- _HITS_
 
 
THANKS GUYS!

Ladies and Gents,
    As a packground here is whats going on, on the server.  We used to use sophie and spamd.  Now we do the virus filtering with  MailScanner, and I must say, I havent had it crash ever, unlike sophie would go down daily killing mailflow.  So, now its time to move Spam Filtering over to MailScanner.  In fact, everything installed fine (ver 2.55).  Problem must be in the configs.  It seems that some configs take "precedence".  Spamassassin installs its configs in /etc/mail/spamassasin/config.cf if I am not mistaking.  Now theres a "mailscanner" spamassassin config in /opt/Mailscanner/etc/spam.assassin.prefs.conf.  I have read that spam.assassin.prefs.conf takes precedence.  Now when I moved a test domain over to MailScanner, the subjects changed from "----SPAM---- _Hits_" to "{SPAM?}".  Now I greped the /opt/Mailscanner directory for the string, and found it in /opt/MailScanner/lib/MailScanner/ConfigDefs.pl.
    Now, why did it never see/use the things in /opt/Mailscanner/etc/?
    also, why does it seem to discard email, unless the Spam delivery option (in Mailscanner.conf) is deliver, not attach.  If its attach, I get nothing.
 
    PS.  We use Communigate PRO. and 4.22-5 for Mailscanner.
 
Any Suggestions????????
 
THANKS!!!!!!!
