I think this is the same bug (or related to it) that I ran into before.
The bug is in spam_assassin_init in mimedefang.pl. Add the following
line right before the Mail::SpamAssassin->new line:
md_syslog('notice',"User-prefs files set to $config");
If it doesn't say that /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf is being used, then
that's your problem.
I found that no matter what I did, $config got set to one of the default
values, even if I passed a value to spam_assassin_init.
Another gotcha is that all /etc/mail/spamassassin/*.cf files are
automatically read as if they are "site rules", so that it even if things
weren't working before to set your own prefs file, the file got read as
if it was extra rules, which are treated the same way.
