I haven't tried it, but I think you could create a global /etc/tmdarc
with all the basic settings and, in addition, make sure you set
DATADIR to your /etc/tmda/ directory:

DATADIR = '/etc/tmda/'

Assuming your config file is /etc/tmda/config, make sure to run
tmda-filter and tmda-sendmail with the '-c' flag, like this:

.forward or .qmail file:
| /path/to/tmda-filter -c /etc/tmda/config

Finally, be aware that the MTA will usually do delivery by changing to
the UID of the user receiving the mail, so /etc/tmda will need to be
readable and writable by every mail user on the system.  The crypt_key
will be shared and readable by all of those users, too, so if you
think you might have a security problem with your users, this setup is
just begging for trouble.

Some admins have opted for individual directories for users, so that
the crypt_key and whitelist/blacklist files are unique per user, but
keep all of the config directories under /var/tmda, for example.
