Single email, multiple Spamassassin attempls

As for Selinux, I wouldn't know without looking at the logs. I would of
course try putting it in permissive mode and testing. If it does turn out
to be Selinux, you can build your own policies from the logs.

MailScanner does is unsafe and therefore does not allow it. Hence adding
the -U flag. Same program (MailScanner) as before, just a different version
of Perl that will not let it do things it did in previous versions.

I could of course be totally wrong.
