Huh...I must be blind!

I don't know, I don't remember what '.' was when I ran it that time.
I did some more experimentation, though, and found that if I am in
/etc/, ./spamassassin.cf (note, only 1 '.') is used (and it still
fails). If I cd to ~dman, /usr/... is used and it works. I created a
directory /etc/spamassassin/spamd and put a symlink to /usr/... in it.
If run from there, it works.
The difference must be that without that file (the /usr/... one, the
config provided by the package), there are _very_ few tests that are
used. I don't understand the logic for locating that file, but at
least I have a solution :-). Thanks!
I'm also really curious now -- what does spamc consider to be a "large"
message? A 71KB spam message arrived (between my last post and this
one) and spamc correctly flagged it as spam[1]. My exim filter
dropped it (after logging it) due to the size.

[1] I had spamd running as 'dman' as a temporary work-around
