I ran quite a few tests, and BAYES never showed up. I perusing the logs, I found this:

/var/log/maillog:Jun 26 08:24:06 vfdr mimedefang-multiplexor[31847]: Slave 1 stderr: config: path "/root/.spamassassin" is inaccessible: Permission denied

It has been doing it from the beginning. Mostly it doesn't seem to affect anything, but could it be a factor in the Bayes problem? I thought I had solved it, but I think I just forgot about it. The file in question does not exist, and with the setup I
have it should not be accessed. I think I ran into this on another test server and it was trivial to fix, but since going from FreeBSD to CentOS, many things are different... I Googled the message and found:

Because the mimedefang through spamassassin want
to write bayes database (bayes_seen and bayes_toks)

Value by default for use_bayes is 1 in file 
<spamassassin>/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

So I turned off Bayes in sa-mimedefang.cf but I still get the error. My head hurts!
