There is a lot of useful information in the Wiki :)

A little more information would be helpful:

	What Operating System are you using?
	How did you install SpamAssassin, i.e. CPAN, tarball, rpm?
	What versions of MailScanner, and Spam Assassin are you installing?
	Do you logs show any errors?
	What does the output of the following command return:

		spamassassin -D -p <path_to_Spam.assassin.prefs.conf> --lint

On a Linux system <path_to_Spam.assassin.prefs.conf> typically =

	/etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf
