I'm in favour of making it more flexible, and I don't care about SQL. File-based config is good enough for me, but I'd like to be able to specify a particular user_prefs config file when I run spamassassin and/or spamc. I'm thinking of a system that receives mail for over a hundred mailing lists, but only one or two "real" addresses. I want to filter spam from all those mailing lists; it would be nice to have the option of a separate config file for each mailing list, so that list admins could tweak the spam filtering on a per-list basis. But with SA's current bias towards per-user config files, I don't see an easy way to do this. If I could specify the exact config file to use for checking any particular piece of email, then SA doesn't need to get much more complex -- I can put my config files wherever I please, and update them however I like.
