serious problem with Ensim Pro 3.7

Yes, Ensim only uses MailScanner for Virus checking, it uses procmail
rulesets in the individual Chroots. Previous versions of ensim did not
use MailScanner and didn't handle any auto configuration (with 3.7 there
is now a virus.rules file that it configures on or off depending on what
is selected for the domain in the admin interface). It's definitely
possible that it also makes sure spam checks is set to off in
MailScanner.conf (I'm still testing 3.7, using 3.5), as to not spamcheck
through MailScanner and procmail/spamc/spamd.
