I have had a response that it is "both" and that the "latest docs in CVS" should be "more up to date". I'm not sure where and how to find those docs but in any case I am at a loss.
I have created a ~/.spamassassin.cf file several times. It is removed - every time I create it, it is (eventually) removed ... and not by me so I can only assume the removal is by SpamAssassin. In addition, when .spamassassin.cf is removed, .spamassassin/user_prefs is overwritten to be ONLY my rules and my whitelist_from entries and preferences are gone. Why is ~/.spamassassin.cf removed? If ~/.spamassassin.cf is not required, why do the rules I place in my ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs not get used? Why are my rules being written to ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs? Why are my preferences being overwritten? I _REALLY_ dislike programs that delete or overwrite _my_ data files behind my back. I need this to stop. I have been saving backups of these files but each time SpamAssassin runs I lose my work. I consider this to be a nasty bug. WHAT is going on? How can I stop the deletion and overwriting of these files? I wrote: The docs refer to ~/.spamassassin.cf but SpamAssassin creates a directory, ~/.spamassassin, and populates it with auto-whitelist.db and user_prefs. So, is it ~/.spamassassin.cf or ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs or either or both? Please Cc: me with any replies as I have subscribed to the digest. -- - Vicki Vicki Brown ZZZ Journeyman Sourceror: P.O.
