Julian,
    Since spam.assassin.prefs.conf changed so significantly, I had
to stare at it a bit.  My two pence here:

1) I installed DCC in a non-standard path (/opt/dcc), so I had
to change dcc_path here, but I also had to define dcc_home, like
so:

#(original)dcc_path /usr/local/bin/dccproc
dcc_path /opt/dcc/bin/dccproc
dcc_home /opt/dcc

Don't remember why, but I had to.

2) After all of the fuss about ALL_TRUSTED, I ended up defining
trusted networks by hand.  Maybe this would be a good thing to
mention in the file?

# other ALL_TRUSTED comments...
#---maybe a better way is to specify your trusted and internal
#---networks by hand, like so:
#trusted_networks 127.0.0.1/32
#trusted_networks [your netblock in CIDR format]
