;-) I asked because you used backslashes instead of forward slashes.
Did you used them somewhere else, too? I mean the backslashes?

This is not by control, but by design; SA returns a modified mail, but 
MIMEDefang does not replace it by the one provided by SA, because other 
changes you made during the processing would be lost.

No, no log file.
If there is no output _without_ the -D flag, it means OK (good ol' Unix 
style). No output _with_ -D flag is bad and I don't know what this can 
mean, because there should be at least some debugging output, like:

[9219] dbg: logger: adding facilities: all
[9219] dbg: logger: logging level is DBG
[9219] dbg: generic: SpamAssassin version 3.1.7-deb

Maybe you retry with -p instead of -C . It makes no difference in my 
system (Debian Etch), though. What's the exit code, BTW?

Do you get any output running the --lint -D command as root? Exit code 
other than 0 (zero)?

Well, it seems that spamassassin does not come up at all.
