The default installation of SpamAssassin with MIMEDefang sucks in all
the configuration files in /usr/share/spamassassin.  So put your
blacklist/whitelist files there (or put symlinks there.)

However, please note that you have to send the multiplexor an INT signal
to have the SpamAssassin configuration files reread.  There may be
security issues related to doing this from a CGI.
