Do you have a symbolic link mailscanner.cf in your site rules
directory pointing to spam.assassin.prefs.conf? If not, you need
create one. Do
spamassassin --lint -D 2>&1 | less
and look for the site rules dir, to find out where it is on your system, then
ls /path/to/site/rule/dir/mailscanner.cf
If that fails, you need do
ln -s /path/to/spam.assassin.prefs.conf /path/to/site/rule/dir/mailscanner.cf
