The /etc/init.d/spamd file has a hardcoded reference to that specific file. I'm pretty sure it is the one being read. However, I am not so certain others are not being read later. I find a lot of references, for example, to BAYES_99 in /usr/share/spamassassin/blah.cf. I certainly don't know if these would override the setting in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf. joe a.
