You need to understand how SpamAssassin and Qmail-Scanner works better. The settings you make in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf affects how "spamd" and "spamassassin" programs run. It has no affect on the "spamc" program as that is merely a frontend for "spamd". Qmail-Scanner exclusively uses "spamc" for performance reasons. It either calls it as "spamc -c" (the default: "fast_spamassassin" mode), or "spamc" (the "verbose_spamassassin" mode). If when you say "alter the behaviour of SA" you mean - say - change the Subject line, or encapsulate any identified spam within a separate message, then you are referring to specific SA things - things that Q-S has no control over. If you run "fast_spamassassin", then you are throwing away all the cool things that SA can do to a message, and exclusively relying on what Q-S can do: which is add a "X-Spam-Status" header and potentially change the Subject: header. All other SA options are only available if you run "verbose_spamassassin" mode - but there is a performance hit for that. Hope that helps.
