This is a deprecated test and no longer exists in the current version of
SA. It was a manual attempt to identify phrases commonly seen in spam.
This is now done using a Bayesian filter in SA 2.50+. I have no idea if
upgrading SA out from under Mailscanner would break the integration
between the two, but you could always back up the installation and give
it a shot (so you can back out if something goes wrong).
[small essay on this topic upcoming, OT for your question, though]
Under Linux, with a stock SA+sendmail+procmail installation, I would do
this to back up an SA install:
tar cvzf /tmp/sa-old.tgz \
`for dir in /etc /usr ; do find $dir \
-name 'sa-*' -o \
-iname 'spamassassin*' -o \
-name 'spam[cd]' -o \
-name 'spam[cd].*' ; \
done`
If you installed via a package management system, I advise using that to
back up SA (or simply re-install if something goes wroing) rather than
relying on this sort of a hack, though ;-)
Under Solaris, you will probably want to add "/opt" to places to find SA
goodies....

This is an SA list. While it would be cool if someone here knew the
answer, you probably want to ask this question of folks who specifically
use Mailscanner (I don't so have no clue).
