Yes, but i had to add -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf for 
it to pick up the right conf-file.

You're right that the snippet in my post was made from Mailwatch 
webadmin. If i do it from the commandline as the postfix-user i get this:

spamassassin -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --lint -D 2>&1 
| less -e:

[9298] dbg: bayes: tie-ing to DB file R/O 
/var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin/bayes_toks
[9298] dbg: bayes: tie-ing to DB file R/O 
/var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin/bayes_seen
[9298] dbg: bayes: found bayes db version 3

[9298] dbg: bayes: untie-ing
[9298] dbg: bayes: untie-ing db_toks
[9298] dbg: bayes: untie-ing db_seen

So it seem to work as it should when doing it this way. Could it be that 
Mailwatch is using some other user when linting from the web-admin?

I have the following in my MailScanner.conf:

Quarantine User = postfix
Quarantine Group = www-data
Quarantine Permissions = 0660

Run As User = postfix
Run As Group = postfix
Incoming Work Permissions = 0600

I can't see any error here? Clues?

Thank you
