Not related, but: amavisd-new will ignore some of these settings, read:
http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/#faq-spam

Run amavisd-new in debug mode in order to get this part of the output
(actually version 3.0.5 will be a little different)

amavisd stop
amavisd debug-sa

<...>
[2361] dbg: config: using "/etc/mail/spamassassin" for site rules dir
[2361] dbg: config: read file /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
<...>

This will tell us where amavisd-new is expecting to find local.cf. It
may not be reading the one you think it is reading. If it says the
"site rules dir" is for example /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin, then
you should take a look in that directory and see if there is anything
worth keeping. If not, and you would like to instead use what is in
/etc/mail/spamassassin, one option is to rename /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin
(maybe something like /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin-old would do)
so spamassassin no longer looks for files there. Then try again.

BTW, DCC detects bulk mail. Much, but not all bulk mail is spam. Many
people subscribe to newsletters and the like, and may not appreciate
getting them flagged as spam or discarded.

Running 'amavisd debug-sa' may give you a different answers than
running 'spamassassin --lint -D' (which BTW, you should always run as
your amavisd-new user).
