My local.cf looks like this now (without =)
trusted_networks X
internal_networks X
bayes_path /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes/bayes
bayes_file_mode 0770
dns_available yes
razor_config /var/spool/spamd/.razor/razor-agent.conf
add_header all DCC _DCCB_ _DCCR_
add_header ham SCL 1
add_header spam SCL 9
rewrite_header Subject ***SPAM***
