Hi, James...long time no see (since my time on the inet-access list). There's no catch-22, and I'll tell you why...and you said it yourself. You need to have SA installed and running before you can install qmail-scanner...but there's nothing that says you have to have qmail-scanner installed and running before you can *install* SA...only that you need to use qmail-scanner to *use* SA within qmai.
Go ahead and install SpamAssassin. Then, start spamd. Then, go ahead and install qmail-scanner, which will see SA already installed, and implement it within its setup. Voila!
