If I remember correctly a spamassassin used with amavisd-new does  
ignore the local.cf and gets all its config from amavis. There might  
be exception or ways around this but I'd have to read up on the topic  
again to give a definite answer. I think there should be pointers if  
you google for the amavisd-new/spamassassin integration.

Cheers,

Gunnar
