All mail treated as spam?

    [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

As an extra point, you are using the bogus-virus-warnings SpamAssassin
ruleset. As a result, any mail from me or from the MailScanner list is
hitting rules such as VIRUS_WARNING62.

You need to add

score VIRUS_WARNING15   0
score VIRUS_WARNING28   0
score VIRUS_WARNING33   0
score VIRUS_WARNING62   0
score VIRUS_WARNING66   0
score VIRUS_WARNING226  0
score VIRUS_WARNING250  0
score VIRUS_WARNING300  0
score VIRUS_WARNING326  0
score VIRUS_WARNING339  0
score VIRUS_WARNING340  0

to your SpamAssassin configuration, so that mail from me does not get
such a big score.
