1. Verify that SpamAssassin is working, independent of qmail-scanner.
See the SpamAssassin docs on how to do that.

2. Once you've verified that SpamAssassin is working, you may get better
answers on the qmail-scanner list. It's likely the problem is with
qmail-scanner, not SpamAssassin and there are more qmail-scanner experts
on that list than on this list.

It's not that we don't want to help; this just isn't the best place to
get support for qmail-scanner.

Most people here don't send spam, at least not intentionally - and if
you don't have a steady stream of spam coming in, why do you need
SpamAssassin? :)
