Hi,

I have not had chance to set up CRM114 yet but I can tell you how to check debug 
spamassassin as run by MailScanner as I have recently been debugging the Botnet plugin.  
The following command line will run a lint check and put the stderr output into a file:

as root: (or whatever user you run MailScanner as):

spamassassin -D -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --lint 2> debug.txt

To test a specific message in the file test_message:

spamassassin -D -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf < test_message> 
test_spam_output 2> test_spam_debug

This should help track down your problem.

Regards

Ian
