In MailScanner.conf at the bottom there is an 'advanced setting' for the
SpamAssassin users directory, which defaults to
/var/spool/MailScanner/SpamAssassin, which I would suggest checking (Make
sure it's owned by Postfix, along with the quarantine). Using the queue
directory as a home directory could upset Postfix when it (re)starts (As
has been seen by .razor files in /var/spool/postfix, left by razor run
from SpamAssassin).

My 2ps worth.
