You might want to ask the people at MimeDefang then?  Cant you use
spamc/spamd instead of spamassassin with mimedefang?

The only thing that matters is where the spamd logs are.    I use a
gateway running spamd that send mail onto exchange, but my spamd logs to
stdout which gets piped through multilog using daemontools.  So I run
sa-stats.pl this way...

# ./sa-stats.pl -f spamd.log -l /var/log/spamassassin/

Or since I logrotate daily, to get stats for yesterday, I run

# ./sa-stats.pl -f spamd.log.1 -l /var/log/spamassassin/

The sa-stats I did (http://www.rulesemporium.com/programs/) is basically
for show rule hitrates..
