Perl regular expressions are a little different from DOS-style file globbing patterns. The perl way of saying "match anything" is /.*/ not /*/ -- the "*" means "repeat the previous thing 0 to infinity times" and the "." means "any character". So /*/ by itself is meaningless and will actually generate a syntax error. Otherwise you've got it exactly right.
As for the PPPS, you currently have 3 choices when creating new rules: 1. If you use spamassassin (as opposed to spamd) then you can create rules in ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs 2. If you use spamd, then you can create rules in ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs *if* you add a line allow_user_rules 1 in one of the global config files (best place is /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf) 3. If you use spamd, but don't want the security holes that allow_user_rules creates (which currently are potentially bad), then you can only create sitewide rules, which is best done in that same /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file.
