mailscanner not calling spamassassin?

[Martin Hepworth]

Brendon


sorry need to be more specific....

stop MailScanner

edit the MailScanner.conf

run check_mailscanner

you'll get a nice dump of what it's trying to so with each
message...preferable run check_mailscanner as the mailscanner user so
all permissions are consistent...
