I *think* the issue was that that directory was not created, when I 
created it with the correct permissions, it stopped complaining
I will do another "from scratch" install, see if I can reproduce it.

I got DCC working, I see that scoring points but razor and pyzor do not 
seem to trigger anything. Is there any way I can verify their working?

I did notice that permissions in /var/lib/spamassassin are all 
debian-spamd. Thinking that MailScanner invokes SpamAss and not spamd, I 
changed .razor to postfix.mtagroup (thanks Louis!) but I see no change no 
mention of razor or pyzor in any headers
