I've not tried 3.2.0 with MailScanner. However, this sounds like it might be a
purely spamassassin issue.

You might want to try running the following basic debugging steps:

First, run "spamassassin --lint", and make sure it's got nothing to complain
about in your config files. It should just exit quietly. I strongly recommend
doing this first, as the version with debug below often spits out so much text
it  becomes easy to miss the important warning messages.

Second, run "spamassassin --lint -D" and take a look if SA thinks network tests
are enabled. It might be that your version of Net::DNS isn't new enough for
3.2's needs, and thus this feature is disabled. Ditto bayes and your version of
DB_File and/or DBI.

As a further check of bayes, try a "sa-learn --dump magic" and see if sa can
make sense of the bayes DB at all.
