[Mimedefang] Spamassassin 3.0 Net-tests and Mimedefang

This seems to be a bug in spamassassin3.0. See below.

Wrong alarm. I've tracked it down to the following:

The FreeBSD port installs per default the file
/usr/local/etc/mimedefang/spamassassin/sa-mimedefang.cf

I made a symlink from /usr/local/etc/mimedefang/spamassassin/local.cf
to the real local.cf (/usr/local/mail/spamassassin/local.cf) which turned into a
fatal error cause mimedefang included always the first one :-(

my $config = shift;
        unless ($config)
        {
            if (-r "/usr/local/etc/mimedefang/spamassassin/sa-mimedefang.cf") {
                $config = "/usr/local/etc/mimedefang/spamassassin/sa-mimedefang.cf";
            } elsif (-r "/usr/local/etc/mimedefang/spamassassin/local.cf") {
                $config = "/usr/local/etc/mimedefang/spamassassin/local.cf";
            } else {
                $config = "/usr/local/etc/mimedefang/spamassassin.cf";
            }
        }

Maybe we should check if a config-file exists twice in different location
and refuse to start, so this user-level error doesn't happen anymore again.

And there is a bug in spamassassin3.0 beta. In the sa-mimedefang.cf were network
tests disabled, but the URIBL_SC_SURBL test does ignore this setting.

Btw. it would be neat to add the autolearn status to mimedefang:

my $autolearn = $status->get_autolearn_status();

sub spam_assassin_is_spam (;$) {

    my($hits, $req, $tests, $report, $autolearn) = spam_assassin_check(@_);
    return undef if (!defined($hits));

    return ($hits >= $req);
}
