This is even if you disable spamassassin? Are you enabling the spam scan in MailScanner? How about disabling that?

[BWS]

SpamAssassin isn't enabled in CPanel, how do I stop it scanning in MailScanner?

http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/ChangeLog

2/12/2003 New in Version 4.25-14
================================
* New Features and Improvements *
- Added support for "disarm" option on all HTML tag detectors, which will
disarm those tags while leaving the rest of the HTML intact.
- Added support for more ways of specifying IP ranges in rulesets.
Can now do all of:
152.78
152.78.
/^152\.78/
152.78.0.0/16
152.78.0.0-152.78.255.255
- Added support for retrieving configuration from LDAP.
- Added support for changing uid, gid and permissions of both Incoming Work
Dir and Quarantine Dir.
- Added facility to limit the size of any individual attachment.

- Added support for DrWeb virus scanner, courtesy of Konrad Madej
<kmadej@nask.pl>.
- Added support for Mail::ClamAV perl module, enabling ClamAV to scan without
having to call any external programs at all.
- Panda version 7.0 supported.
- Improved ClamAV parser to handle errors printed when processing viruses
containing corrupted zip files.
- Improved F-Prot output parser.
- Added inoculan autoupdater courtesy of "W-Mark Kubacki" <wmark@hurrikane.de>.
- Improved bitdefender-autoupdate script to support BitDefender 7 rather better.

- Greatly improved IPBlock code that throttles incoming SMTP connections
when a host sends too many messages per hour. Now support netblocks in all
sorts of different formats, and is enormously faster than previous code.
It works much more reliably and effectively too. See CustomConfig.pm.
- Changed SpamAssassin timeout handler to kill processes and not process group.
- Improved documentation in virus.scanners.conf.
- Improved documentation of "disarm" configuration settings.
- Added optimisation to LDAP ruleset compiler that identifies 1-line rulesets
which hold the default value.
- Improved Linux install.sh script so it spots *.rpmnew files in amongst
-wrapper and -autoupdate scripts.
- Added 'spamblacklisted' message property for use by MailWatch.
- Added a new Custom Function to provide multiple outgoing queues for spam,
high-scoring spam, and real email.
- Improved Linux init.d script so the "restart" delay is configurable in
/etc/sysconfig/MailScanner as that is preserved across upgrades.
- Improved error message when unknown virus scanner name is used.
- Added SORBS RBLs to spam.lists.conf.
- Added some subject line sanity checks to cope with Outlook's bizarre
behaviour.
- Added speed logging of different parts of the processing of a batch.
See the new "Log Speed" configuration setting.
- Changed error handling in ruleset parser so it doesn't die if it finds
syntax errors, it now just warns you instead.
- Improved syntax checking of rules in configuration ruleset files.

* Fixes*
- RPM distribution install.sh script now checks and creates pod2text properly.
- Fixed bug whereby the same message files could be deleted more than once,
which could delete unprocessed messages using MTAs that name files after
the inode and not the time.
- Syslogging should now start successfully on all versions of Solaris and IRIX.
- Bug fix in Postfix file handling code from Stefan Baltus which will
hopefully patch up the last Solaris Postfix problem.
- Fixed bug causing uid+gid to be ignored when quarantining whole messages.
- Fixed bug causing Maximum Message Size not to be enforced properly.
- Fixed bug where sender of bulk precedence mail would be sent some warnings
if their mail was identified as spam.
- Fixed duplicate logging of New Batch messages. Abandoned support of
syslog-ng until I can test it properly on my own systems.
- Removed Infinite Monkeys from supplied list of RBLs, as it no longer exists.
- 4.25-13 : Removed "Infinite-Monkeys" from supplied "Spam List" setting.
- 4.25-14 : Fixed Subject: replacement code that was doubling up subject lines.

I think cpanel does not have an updated version of mailscanner... probably this is the bug that is causing this problem.

All my mails (incoming) are bounced back to the sender...

In
/usr/mailscanner/etc/MailScanner.conf
do you have the following line
Use SpamAssassin = no

[BWS]

# Do you want to find spam using the "SpamAssassin" package?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Use SpamAssassin = no

Still happening!!

[casey]

YOu should also make sure that you do not have Infinite-Monkeys listed on the following line in MailScanner.conf

Spam List = ORDB-RBL spamcop.net # MAPS-RBL+ costs money (except .ac.uk)
