That doesn't mean that it'll catch it - keep in mind that most of the network
tests will be impacted by the way you send the test mail to yourself.  You
need to inject it directly to your SMTP server, ie:

    sendmail me at my.domain < sample-spam.txt
 
> sendmail is running as smmsp, MIMEDefang as defang, clamd is

> spamassassin is installed as root but it is executable for all.

You're running clamd as root?  That's not good - run it as either defang or
it's own user account.  You should never run any program as root where there's
an option not to.  What if somebody finds a way to exploit it by sending a
mail message through it?

Which suggests a config problem.

Ok, jog the memory please:

Version of MIMEDefang?
Version of Sendmail?
Version of SpamAssassin?
Version of Razor-agents?
Version of DCC?
Entire (non comment) contents of your spamassassin .cf file?
Changes made to mimedefang-filter?

You may want to place the last 2 on a web site, rather than mailing them to
the list, if they're over a few dozen lines each.

PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list.  Email sent directly to me may
be ignored utterly.
