Oops.

Perhaps it can't find the SpamAssassin.pm file.  Do a search of the filesystem for SpamAssassin.pm to see if you can find it.  If you can, then check perl's @INC to make sure it's looking in the right places.
perl -e "print join qq(\n), @INC;"
If not, try pushing the correct directory into @INC at the top of mimedefang-filter as a hack.  I'd recommend setting PERL5LIB but I don't know how you would do that for the defang user.
