There should be something like this when spam is found:
Jul 22 13:53:55 n8 MailScanner[30280]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages, 
5265 bytes
Jul 22 13:53:59 n8 MailScanner[30280]: Spam Checks: Found 1 spam messages
Jul 22 13:53:59 n8 MailScanner[30280]: Virus and Content Scanning: 
Starting

The "Spam Checks" line will be missing when it's ham.

Only if it got detected as spam. Have you double-checked in the 
MailScanner.conf that Mailscanner should "Use Spamassassin" and do Sapm 
Tests? Sorry, I don't have the exact option names memorize, but if you 
walk thru the file it should be clear which ones I mean.

Apart from that I strongly suggest installing Mailwatch (mailwatch.sf.net) 
this will make monitoring your Mailscanner installation *much* more 
easier.
