While that would be optimal in the long run, he can't just upgrade to 3.x.

He needs to upgrade perl or RedHat to do that. (RedHat 7.2 is perl 5.6.0 based)

Agreed.. Specific signs of what's going on are important here.

Also, try to see if spamassassin itself is working by running:

	spamassassin -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --lint

It should run quietly without any complaints. If it's complaining about parse
errors, you need to fix those before SA will run well for MailScanner.
