will take the sample-spam.txt (shipped as part of the SpamAssassin 
distribution) and process it through your SpamAssassin setup and print a 
report on the end of it that shows what rules it hits and what its score 
is. Do that, and see what it says; do come back and tell us what it says.

If it says 0 then you've got a SpamAssassin problem and really need to 
ask on the SpamAssassin list.

If it gets 1000 points, then SpamAssassin is basically working, and the 
problem lies elsewhere. If so, then tell us what settings in 
MailScanner.conf you changed ("MailScanner --changed" will help you there).

To start with, you don't actually need to change any settings in that 
file at all, except for the ones the "Installing MailScanner with 
Postfix" told you to. So I hope you didn't go through it randomly 
changing stuff :-)
