I quote from the UPGRADE field shipped with SpamAssassin 3.X.X.

"--------------------------
- The Bayesian storage modules have been completely re-written and now
  include Berkeley DB (DBM) storage as well as SQL based storage (see
  sql/README.bayes for more information).  In addition, a new format
  has been introduced for the bayes database that stores tokens in fixed
  length hashes (Bayes v3).  All DBM databases should be automatically
  converted to this new format the first time they are opened for write.
  You can manually perform the upgrade by running "sa-learn --sync"
  from the command line.
--------------------------"

Shutdown MailScanner and run:

        sa-learn --sync -p /etc/Mailscanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf

You may need to modify the <path_to_ spam.assassin.prefs.conf> if you're not
running on a Linux system.
