Did sa-update succeed? Do you have all the rules "moved and updated"
to the /var/lib/spamassassin/<version> directory? Are you sure you are
running version 3.1.5? No duplicate SA install? Can the user you run
your MTA as (and thus MailScanner ... and SA) read the files in
/var/lib/spamassassin/<version>?

Short answer "it should work" isn't much help, but perhaps you can
find a bit more info from the above questions:-). As a stopgap thing
you could set the Default Rules Dir option, but it's probably better
to try deduce why it isn't working as intended;-)
