A lot of the user here use SpamAssassin, i would guess its almost the
norm with MailScanner - plus i noticed Julian has said its best to use
spamhaus-XBL+SBL - its a combination liost working very well.

We stop a LOT of spam that doesnt appear in any lists using
spamassassin, i dont think MailScanner is designed to replace somrthing
like spamassassin, eg its main goal is not stopping all the spam, its
stopping dangerous content? Is this wrong anyone? Also relying on rbls
to stop all the spam certainly wouldnt work for us.

Install it and try it, if you dont like it its VERY easy to turn off
again, Use Spamassassin = no

Good luck
