[Mimedefang] MD seems not to run SA...

Hi folks,

I'm a bit new to MD, did my first installation of it a couple of days 
ago and got
a problem I can't figure out...

Incoming mail (and outgoing) are processed by MD and scanned by Clam, 
but all spam
is let through without classification.

Syslog entries look like (mailaddresses xxx'd out):

Sep 22 10:08:49 mailboy mimedefang.pl[17146]: [ID 702911 mail.info] 
MDLOG,i8M88icM018136,mail_in,,,<xxxxxxxxx at lists.xxxxxin.com>,<xxx at unixxxxxx.org>,confirm 
17fcd4d1a1zzzzb17ca7b1zzzzzz04a1ad

The only X-.... line I get in the header is:
X-Scanned-By:     MIMEDefang 2.44
even if it is a really ugly spam, generating a 12+ score when i feed it 
to SA by hand.

I have looked through the lists but didn't find any answer, though I 
found a few
similar questions, so there has to be someone who knows.... :)

The setup is tailored after the Big Admin feature article that is linked 
from the penguin. :)
The system I'm running is:
Solaris 10
Perl 5.8.5
