It appears from the log message that mailscanner is checking SORBS independently of Spamassassin. This doesn't appear to be a Spamassassin problem. Spamassassin simply classifies mail - it doesn't do anything with it. I think you should review your mailscanner configuration - simply disabling all blocklists might cause you a big rise in spam if mailscanner is currently handling spamhaus checks. I don't know much about mailscanner, but it seems odd that it's running Spamassassin on a message that's going to be rejected by a blocklist. Possibly mailscanner has it's own internal scoring system, which is being misused. Normally you reject on very reliable blocklists and pass-on the rest to SA which can score-in the other, less-reliable, lists.
