If you're using spamd, you can't put rules in user_prefs, for security reasons,
unless you turn on the option which lets you do that.  But the option creates
security holes.  You can, however, put extra rules in
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and they will be used for everyone.

Be sure to restart spamd after making any changes in local.cf
