I run amavisd-new and spamassassin 2.60 (backports to Debian Woody
GNU/Linux from the unstable branch) on a sever at office and at my own one
at home, where I write this at now (clamav is used solely at office
additionally for virus/worm scanning) with the postfix MTA (stable woody
version).

The phenomenon is as follows: I have made several extensions in local.cf
in the /etc/spamassassin/ directory, as it is designed by spamassassin and
Debian too, and when I test it with received spams or own fake creations,
I observe the mentioned phenomenon: I run spamassassin as normal user and
it reads local.cf and adds the entries/scores there if appropriate to its
analysis. But if I send the very same mail through the MTA, the
amavisd-called spamd (runs as root, while amavisd works as user amavis)
uses only the number_name.cf files in the usual location
/usr/share/spamassassin, but not the local.cf. Don't think it isn't found
or can't be read:

When I double check with the -D option of spamd I see, that the local.cf
is read though, but its contents are ignored by spamd when scanning! The
access timestamp of file local.cf and error messages when configuring
something wrong therein proves without any doubt, that local.cf is read
when spamd launches. I'm absoluteley clueless at the moment. Does anybody
have any idea here? Maybe local.cf is generally ignored when running spamd
as root or something the like?
