This thread has gotten very confusing! I take it there are 2 people with a
similar problem, but more than likely 2 different solutions.

I had a problem with a spamassassin install sometime back where it was
defaulting to looking for its rules in /usr/etc/mail/spamassassin. It took
days to track this down. If you have this problem, I fixed it with a symlink
from /usr/etc/mail/spamassassin pointing to /etc/mail/spamassassin. Maybe way
off, but a guess s all I have...
