MailScanner not invoking spamassassin

[Martin Hepworth]

to make sure Mailscanner is verbose in the mail headers make sure the
following config lines in MailScanner.conf are as follows.


Spam Score Number Format = %5.2f

Detailed Spam Report = yes

Include Scores In SpamAssassin Report = yes

Always Include SpamAssassin Report = yes

Spam Score Number Format = %5.2f


Mailscanner will also log quite a bit to maillog so also check there, and I
presume you'll lint checked mailScanner and also run it in debug mode and
checked for any errors?
