Problem solved. After a few days of agony, I discovered that there was *nothing* wrtong with my setup - I suppose that's why there were so few answers to the posting. Thanks anyway to those who tried to help. What happened was that I removed the mailscanner rpm package a few days ago because I was unable to configure sendmail properly to use it. The removal must have removed a bit of perl that is necessary for spamd to access the site rules, because spamd started working again on its own (no restart) after I installed the perl libnet, URI and libwww modules for something else today.
