As long as SA utilities are invoked as the same user as amavisd runs under,
they should be seeing the same environment, rules, plugins, *.cf files etc.

This means you should be running sa-learn etc. as:

su vscan -c 'spamassassin --lint'
su vscan -c 'sa-learn --spam --mbox 0.mbx'
su vscan -c 'spamassassin [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
su vscan -c 'spamassassin -t -D <0.msg'

An exception is sa-update, which is a system manager's tool, and is
usually run as root, to be able to write into /var/lib/spamassassin/

That's one way of saying it, but is conceptually wrong.

It is better to think that SA (even when called by amavisd)
does see and observe all settings in *.cf files and rules,
it's just that amavisd does not ask SA to rewrite/modify
a message, which means setting which affect rewriting
of a message have no visible effect on passed mail.

>> IIRC, Amavisd-new ignores SA local setting file local.cf.

This is not correct, local.cf and other .cf files
in /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/ are normally
seen and observed by all frontends to Mail::SpamAssassin
such as amavisd, spamd, spamassassin.
