Got it working. All I did was uncomment the dcc_path line in
/etc/mail/spamassassin/mailscanner.cf. I'm not sure why it is
commented out by default (if it is), or why it is apparently working
this way on other peoples' servers but not ours, but at any rate with
that line not commented out we are getting scores on the DCC_CHECK
from within Mailscanner on all our servers.
