Your spam.assassin.prefs.conf file is referenced via the symlink
/etc/mail/spamassassin/mailscanner.cf, so that is as expected. The
problem Dave seem to be having is probably due to multiple settings of
the score value, or the file never being read at all. The latter could
be because of SA settings (wrong paths) in MailScanner.conf or missing
the symlink.
