Problem messages when spam checks enabled

[Neil]

Hi guys,

I've got a strange issue on a MailScanner install...

It seems like when SpamAssassin is being called (use SpamAssassin =
yes) the emails end up being "problem messages" and eventually after 3
retries the messages are then quarantined...

Nov  2 17:13:43 mail MailScanner[19750]: Warning: skipping message
0310480032E.AF1CF as it has been attempted too many times
Nov  2 17:13:43 mail MailScanner[19750]: Quarantined message
0310480032E.AF1CF as it caused MailScanner to crash several times
Nov  2 17:13:43 mail MailScanner[19750]: Saved entire message to
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20121102/0310480032E.AF1CF

If I set "use SpamAssassin =no" then emails pass through perfectly.

[root at mail ~]# MailScanner --debug-sa --lint

Checking version numbers...
Version number in MailScanner.conf (4.84.5) is correct.

Your envelope_sender_header in spam.assassin.prefs.conf is correct.
MailScanner setting GID to  (89)
MailScanner setting UID to  (89)

Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...
Using SpamAssassin results cache
Connected to SpamAssassin cache database
SpamAssassin reported no errors.
Connected to Processing Attempts Database
Created Processing Attempts Database successfully
There are 0 messages in the Processing Attempts Database
Using locktype = posix
MailScanner.conf says "Virus Scanners = clamd"
Found these virus scanners installed: clamavmodule, clamd
===========================================================================
Filename Checks: Windows/DOS Executable (1 eicar.com)
Other Checks: Found 1 problems
Virus and Content Scanning: Starting
Clamd::INFECTED:: Eicar-Test-Signature :: ./1/eicar.com
Virus Scanning: Clamd found 2 infections
Infected message 1 came from 10.1.1.1
Virus Scanning: Found 2 viruses
===========================================================================
Virus Scanner test reports:
Clamd said "eicar.com was infected: Eicar-Test-Signature"

If any of your virus scanners (clamavmodule,clamd)
are not listed there, you should check that they are installed correctly
and that MailScanner is finding them correctly via its virus.scanners.conf.

Anyone have any ideas where to start?

Thanks.
