I have found the problem.
For some reason, the local rules directory is getting ignored and either
MailScanner or spamassassin is looking in /usr/etc/mail/spamassassin
instead of /etc/mail/spamassassin
The working system had that directory, and the non working system didn't.
Making a symlink seems to have cured the non-working system, but now I
need to find out why this happened.
All my config files have the proper paths in them, so I do not know
where this /usr/etc/mail/spamassassin came from.
