Thanks for your reply.

I've uninstalled SpamAssassin from rpms (ones which I built from SRPMs)
and have installed SpamAssassin 2.63 from source.  I'm able to run
spamassassin -D --lint -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf
with no problems.

However, when I set "Use SpamAssassin = yes" I get the usual
"SpamAssassin installation could not be found" in the /var/log/maillog
file and MailScanner ceases to deliver mail.

This then seems to be a configuration setting on MailScanner's side; I see
in /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/SA.pm that the error message is
produced at line 119 when it encounters the subsequent statement at line
120  -- unless eval "require Mail::SpamAssassin";

Having tried the above-mentioned recommendations and ones which I've found
in MailScanner's archives I'll still continue looking through
the archives, but if someone has more information on this I would
appreciate it very much.

Much thanks.
