Strange...I've been using spamassassin since 1.01 when it was a manual patch
option and I've never had to do that.  With version 1.10 that has native
support, it just worked out of the box.  Can you (if you haven't already)
detail the steps that you've done to install both Spamassassin and
Qmail-scanner 1.10?

Regards,

Tren
