In MailScanner.conf set "Debug = yes" and "Debug SpamAssassin = yes"
then stop MailScanner, then run check_MailScanner. It will spew out a
load of stuff from SpamAssassin. Page back up it (Shift+PageUp) and go
through the output carefully to make sure it is searching the
directories where all your SpamAssassin *.cf files are stored. You
should be able to find "50_scores.cf" for example in one of the
directories it is searching.

Also do a "MailScanner -v" and check it is finding all the modules (and
their versions) that you think it should be finding, paying particular
attention to things like MIME-Base64 version 3.something and your
SpamAssassin version.

Just whichever place you start using these RPMs from (Dag's is just
fine) make sure you stick to it.
