Strange Problem since yesterday

[Stephen Swaney]

Try setting Debug = yes & Debug SpamAssassin = yes in MailScanner.conf. Then
restart Mailscanner.

Examine the verbose output and you will probably find the problem.

P.S. You probably do not want to enable SpamAssassin auto-whitelist
functionality
