Ok, I've uninstalled spamassassin... I downloaded and installed
"http://mailscanner.info/files/4/install-Clam-0.88.7-SA-3.1.8.tar.gz",
and there is no spamassassin installed. What package do I need to
install to get MailScanner to use spamassassin? Thanks!

Hi Blaze,
The best way to install MailScanner and SA on a linux box is to use the
packages from the MailScanner site. If your installed SA is from your
linux disto, you might need to rpm -e it and then use the MailScanner
packages.
