Ok, /usr/share/spamassassin/ files are NOT intended for you to edit. They will be obliterated when spamassassin is upgraded. And yes, you will eventualy want to upgrade. If for no reason other than the fact that the patterns present in spam change over time, and eventually old versions of SA become less and less effective against spam without extensive manual configuration.

Hence local.cf exists for the purpose of you making your own, custom changes on a site wide basis without getting wiped out when you upgrade. Any scores in local.cf take priority over those in /usr/share/spamasassin/*

I would Strongly recommend never editing your /usr/share/spamassasin files unless you don't care if those changes get wiped out. ie: if you know the latest CVS version has a bug fix for a typo in a rule, sure.. apply it, because that change will likely be in the next release, but don't go adding your own rules and site performance tuning settings there.

This may be a bit of a stupid question but...

I have all the config files in /usr/share/spamassassin/
eg 10_misc.cf and 20_body_tests.cf etc....

Where does /etc/mail/spamassassin/locla.cf fit into this?

The config below should go where?  Into the locla.cf?

Some explanation of how this works would really be appreciated .
