Matt,

  /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf is the only file in that dir. Below is
what's in it. Every line is commented out. I'll keep digging around.

[root at mail1 spamassassin]# ls
local.cf
[root at mail1 spamassassin]# cat local.cf
# This is the right place to customize your installation of SpamAssassin.
#
# See 'perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf' for details of what can be
# tweaked.
