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 C Mark Derricutt wrote: MD> Hi, new to spamassasin so this is probably a really simple question, but MD> how does one create there own localised rules?
