This is becuase the home directory for the user that is running  
SpamAssassin (Postfix) is being used to store the log file. Stop  
Postfix and delete it. Stop MailScanner and add razor_config /var/ 
spool/MailScanner/spamassassin/razor/ to spam.assassin.prefs.conf

Make sure these directories exist and can be written by the postfix  
user. Make sure that you run razor-admin -create -conf=/var/spool/ 
MailScanner/spamassassin/razor (In my example. Pick where ever suits  
you. Make sure you change the value in spam.assassin.pref.conf) and  
make sure a line 'logfile = razor-agent.log' and a line 'razorhome = / 
var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin/razor' are in place.

You can now restart MailScanner and Postfix and all should now be happy.
