SA not picking up users
I've just built up a web/mail server running centos 4.8 and installed
spamassassin-3.3.1-3.el4.rf. I then set SA up and got good results with the
usual test commands. After this I then imported all the virtual sites and
users from another backup, but spamassassin is unaware of them and is not
scanning mail. How do I get SA to connect to the new users?

I fixed it by cheating. I noticed on another (identical) server the
sendmail.cf was a different size so for some reason restarting sendmail
hadn't been updating the sendmail.cf so I copied the 'old' sendmail.cf over
to the new server and restarted sendmail and now SA is scanning mail
correctly. Before that I tried running make -C /etc/mail but it didn't work

ps/edit: having looked at the headers of incoming emails it seems that
sendmail is not passing the mail to mimedefang, but I've checked several
times and the INPUT_MAIL_FILTER entry is there and correct in sendmail.mc

I'm using mimedefang-2.70-1.el4.rf. I have the correct 'INPUT_MAIL_FILTER..'
entry in sendmail.mc, no errors with md syntax. sa-mimedefang.cf is all
correct. SA seems to be unaware of the users. I think that if the
virtual-sites-and-users had been imported first, SA would have picked them
up during when it was being installed but because I did it the other way
round SA thinks there are no users. I don't know how to make it connect with
the users.

How do you connect SA to the mail system? The answer depends on that.
