OK this is your clue ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In fact that's wrong also as you will have a good chance that Postfix will
moan about non queue files in it's home directory if you are not careful.

Check out the bottom of MailScanner.conf where there is an 'advanced
option' for the location of the Bayes database
(/var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin from memory). Make sure you set it
and give it postfix:postfix permissions. That is where you need to put
your starter database/ trained database, again with the right permissions.

At the same time, you will want to watch our for Razor files too. There
was a thread over the last couple of months giving the file settings to
tell Razor where to put it's home directory.

All this is only because in your passwd file the user postfix has a home
directory of /var/spool/postfix and that's where MailScanner will try to
put things (Because it's running as the postfix user).
