(Mailscanner+spamassassin) not working

Hi

There's some settings in MailScanner.conf you might want to adjust so you
can actually see the SA score in more detail..


SpamScore Number Instead Of Stars = yes

Detailed Spam Report = yes

Include Scores In SpamAssassin Report = yes

Always Include SpamAssassin Report = yes

Spam Score Number Format = %5.2f


Changing these settings should help with norrowing down the problem

Also check the "SpamAssassin Site Rules Dir" is set to a sensible value and
the spam.assassin.prefs.conf isn't turning a load of rules off.

(spamassassin -P <path-to>/spam.assassin.prefs.conf -D --lint
spam.email.file)
