This must be in the MAQ or Wiki somewhere, but I can't find it right  
now.
Shutdown MailScanner, set "Debug = yes" and "Debug SpamAssassin =  
yes" in MailScanner.conf, then "check_MailScanner". It will probably  
die with some error message, that will hopefully shed some light on  
what is wrong. Fix the problem, put the debug options back to no  
again and restart MailScanner.
