Yeah, Basic. The maillog told me that there was a problem with mimedefang
and clamd scanning the messages. I guess due to that, spamassassin wasn't
doing it's job either. Basically I edited /etc/clamd.conf and changed the
User value to defang. I added LocalSocket
/var/spool/MIMEDefang/clamd.sock and commented out TCPSocket 3310. Works
now. Hopefully this didn't break anything else in the process.

I installed the latest version of MimeDefang also. I'm now searching for
an easy way to stuff all spam messages into a desired mailbox, and so the
reciepient doesn't see them. Thanks for your help.
