In /etc/MailScanner/spamassassin.prefs.conf, add these lines
score RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET 0.0
score DNS_FROM_AHBL_RHSBL 0.0

You need the latest beta to work with ClamAV 0.94. You would be far 
better off upgrading to using clamd instead, it is a *whole* lot faster. 
But be sure to configure clamd to talk to freshclam properly, or else 
clamd will never know it needs to re-read its virus signatures. That's 
all in clamd.conf.

That should have been created by "service MailScanner start" (or 
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner start"). You're quite right, it isn't. 
sendmail should have created it. I'll tweak the init.d script so that it 
doesn't care. This is a pretty harmless error, even so. Just ignore it 
for now.
