Hello,

If you are using postfix, don't use mailscanner, it uses a
non-documented (and therefore not supported) access to the postfix
queue files. Use amavisd-new instead to integrate postfix and
spamassassin.

Anyways, the default rules in spamassassin will NOT get you anything
much than 70% in caught spam - that's what bayes is for. Train it with
YOUR spam, not someone else's!
