when using SpamAssassin with MIMEDefang, you need to have your configuration
in /etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-mimedefang.cf (unless something's changed since
I first installed MD)

you can make this a symbolic link to local.cf if necessary.

I think what's happening is that when you run sa-learn or SA on its own, it
reads the local.cf file, but MD is looking for the sa-mimedefang.cf file and
isn't finding it, so it's probably using some default set of configuration
rules as opposed to finding/reading local.cf.

hope this helps
