If I restart the MailScanner with
# service MailScanner restart
Will it restart spamasssassin too? Because I cannot restart spamassassin with:
# /etc/init.d/spamassassin restart

CS MailScanner service package installed, so if I run:
# service spamd restart
it will start wrong SA (correct?)

Restarting MailScanner will (sort of) restart SpamAssassin. With MailScanner installed, there is no spamassassin daemon (spamd) running, it just calls SpamAssassin when it needs to scan messages for spam.

You should NOT do service spamd restart if you have MailScanner installed. If you do this, you will have two instances of SpamAssassin running, and you don't want that.
