MailScanner not using SpamAssassin

[Brenda Bell]

Thanks Jerry & Gao.

All is well now.

There was so much detail in the Mail Scanner User Guide I downloaded, I 
thought I’d have a working system if I did everything in that book. 
Apparently not. It really should have included links to the appropriate 
Mail Scanner pages near the links to the MTA’s web sites. In fact, it 
references the link, but says “For other information on other 
supported MTAs”, leading one to believe that all you need to know 
about Sendmail, Exim and Postfix are in the book.

Lesson learned.

Thanks so much for helping me get this working.
