Were you using spamassassin or spamc/spamd greg? I believe spamassassin allows you to have user rules, spamd does not. At least, that's what the docs say in perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf -- I agree that changing it from what's documented to having a allow_user_rules local-conf parameter would be nifty. Go ahead and file a bugzilla enhancement request :)
