MailScanner not moving messages between queues

[Pete]

Think about stopping mailscanner,  turning on the debug flags in
MailScanner.conf for MailScanner and SpamAssassin, then doing
check_mailscanner (restart mailscanner) and have a close look at the
output, or output to a file and post it here...

Good Luck
Pete
