[Mimedefang] SpamAssassin always scores 0

This may not fix the problem. I too followed the
instructions and that did not fix the SpamAssassin
problem. If there have been a number of customizations
or incorrect permissions set on parent directories in
the "/usr" or other directories, this problem will
easily manifest itself exactly as described. 

Become the "defang" user and try to change directory
to /usr/share/spamassassin as well as other
directories in the PERL libraries or binary
directories and you will mostl likely find that you
cannot in one or more of these directories. When I
followed this approach and fixed the permissions (on
the /usr/share directory in my case), the problem went
away.

This is suggested AFTER you follow the directions that
you were given the link to. 

Good Luck,

Curtis
