Cannot test spamassassin, what is going on here?

My wrong. Forgot the -C.

# spamassassin -t test.eml -C /usr/local/etc/MailScanner
config: no rules were found!  Do you need to run 'sa-update'? at
/usr/local/bin/spamassassin line 413.

I guess it is looking for master.cf, this is why it does not work. Using
the config directory /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin (where master.cf
resides) results in the "no report template found" message, and I cannot
see the rules applied.
