Yes, I restarted spamd after changing blacklist entries.  Actually, I think
it it working, as it is changing the e-mail subject lines to
"****SPAM****".  But it is not deleting/discarding those mails.

SA does not, itself, perform *delivery* of messages. It only scores them. Something else then needs to look at that score to decide the ultimate fate of the message: deliver, quarantine, discard, reject.

That the messages are being labeled SPAM is promising.

Take a look in the message headers to see whether there is a blacklist rule hitting. If so, all of your changes to SA have worked.

Now you need to look at what is checking the SA score to see why they are still being delivered. If you don't have anything that's looking at the SA score to make a delivery decision, all your spam will still be delivered to the recipient, it will just be marked as such.
