Kelly, /root/.spamassassin is only relevant for mail delivered to root. The important stuff is in /etc/mail/spamassassin (and possibly /usr/share/spamassassin depending on your installation).
Read the CONFIGURATION FILES section of the spamassassin(1) manpage: CONFIGURATION FILES The rule base, text templates, and rule description text are loaded from the configuration files. By default, configuration data is loaded from the first existing directory in: /usr/local/share/spamassassin;/usr/share/spamassassin;./rules;../rules The, configuration data in the first existing directory in: /usr/local/etc/spamassassin;/usr/pkg/etc/spamassassin;/usr/etc/spamassas sin;/etc/mail/spamassassin;/etc/spamassassin are used to override any values which had already been set Spamassassin will read *.cf in these directories, in alphanumeric order within each directory (similar to SysV-style startup scripts). In other words, it will read 10_misc.cf before 50_scores.cf and 20_body_tests.cf before 20_head_test.cf. Options in later files will override earlier files. The user preferences (such as scores to attach to each rule), are loaded from the file specified in the -p argument. If this is not specified, ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs is used if it exists. "spamassassin" will create this file if it does not exist, using user_prefs.template as a template. This file will be looked for in /etc/spamassassin/user_prefs.template;/usr/local/share/spamassassin/user _prefs.template;/usr/share/spamassassin/user_prefs.template Hope that helps, C On Tue, 2002-02-05 at 05:32, Kelly Hamlin wrote: > Im currently running mailscanner(latest version) and latest 2.0+ code of > spamassassin.
