Package: mimedefang
Version: 2.57-1
Followup-For: Bug #366636
I ran into the same situation as described by Richard A Nelson, although
using mimedefang 2.57-1:
After a spamassassin rules / plugins update (with --allow-plugins) the
new filtering features were available using spamc/spamd but not via
mimedefang.
It took me a while to find out that the following patch would solve the
problem:

/var/lib/spamassassin is indeed the directory where sa-update stores its
data.
