I just set up MailScanner 4.43.8 on Redhat 9 (Intel). SpamAssassin
2.6.4 was already installed.  For the most part things are working as
expected.  SpamAssassin, however, doesn't catch anything when run
through MailScanner.

Here's a typical maillog entry:

Jul 19 16:52:58 **** MailScanner[10122]: Message XYZ from **** (****)
to **** is spam, SBL+XBL, spamhaus.org, spamcop.net, SpamAssassin
(score=0,required6, autolearn=)

The SA score is zero on every entry in the log.

However, if I feed the quarantined copy of that message directly to
SpamAssassin:
     spamassassin -D < /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20050719/spam/XYZ
SA gives it a score of 17.653, and generally does what it's supposed to.

Any thoughts on why SA isn't working when called by MailScanner?
