   That's what I do.  I use the first file.  Those three filepaths are
what is hardcoded in mimedefang.pl as his place to look for a config file
in the spam_assassin_init routine.  I'm not sure, but the configure
program may set those.  And actually, the config file used seems to be the
first of those three that it finds.

   You may have to set $SALocalTestsOnly to 0 in your mimedefang-filter if
you want to do this.  Also make sure that skip_rbl_checks is not set in
your SA config.

   Good luck!
