It's late (or is that early???) here in the UK so don't put too much
faith in my answer, but If you're having that much of a problem I'd turn
off bayes in MailScanner and blast the bayes db.

stop MailScanner, set use_bayes to 0 and delete the bayes db files. Then
start up MailScanner again. That should stop your problems for now.

Also, I could be way off the mark, but it sounds like you've got your
spam scores and high spam scores set way too strict for your site if
bayes and MS are learning legit emails for your site as spam. Try
starting again with higher values and see what happens...

I'm off to bed now....
