Q: Junk filtering stops mail delivery

We've just rebuilt our Lion Server (unrelated issue) and are unable use the Junk Filtering option under Mail. With this feature enabled mail is not delivered to the mailboxes.

 

It appears that Spam Assassin is broken but I am unsure where to proceed in fixing it. Here's a line from our mail.log:
