Thanks for your answer.
I've checked in in /root/.spamassassin and I found just this files.

-rw-------  1 root root 168087552 Jan 23 10:24 auto-whitelist
-rw-------  1 root root     97320 Jan 23 10:24 bayes_journal
-rw-------  1 root root 172904448 Jan 23 10:24 bayes_seen
-rw-------  1 root root 322408448 Jan 23 10:24 bayes_toks


This it's an extract of my Mailscanner.conf
==========================================================
Spam Score = yes
Cache SpamAssassin Results = yes
SpamAssassin Cache Database File =
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin.cache.db
Rebuild Bayes Every = 0
Wait During Bayes Rebuild = no
==========================================================
It's correct ? Should I change something ? Maybe try to use an other
spamlist ?

Thanks again
