MailScanner has *nothing* to do with spam scanning on Ensim (unless you
customize it to use spam lists). MailScanner is only used for Virus
Scanning with ensim, otherwise it uses prefs in the user's home dir to
call spamd. Make sure spamassassin is running, restart it to make sure
"service spamassassin restart". You must have spam scanning enabled for
the domain in the admin interface as well. 

MailScanner/spamassassin upgrades are tricky with Ensim, you should make
sure you've familiarized yourself with the knowledge base thouroughly
before upgrading. The Ensim forums are good, as well as
www.ev1servers.com forums.
