Mailscanner not catching SPAM but manual run via SA catches i t

[Randal, Phil]

Sometimes it pays to actually test it with debug on and see the
results...

For my SA 3.1.7 installation,

  SpamAssassin Local State Dir = /var/lib/spamassassin

is the correct setting, not

  SpamAssassin Local State Dir = /var/lib

Tested with MailScanner --debug-sa and the debug flags set in
MailScanner.conf.

Cheers,

Phil, who's amazed he didn't notice this earlier

Check the SA paths in MailScanner to make sure you're running the same 
rules - also check you've only got one perl and one SA installed.

IF you've run sa-update make sure MS knows about it by setting

SpamAssassin Local State Dir = /var/lib
