[SAtalk] Assistance with SpamAssassin Configuration

[gs-list]

Greetings fellow SpamAssassins:

I have installed SpamAssassin 2.43 on my primary mailserver in a sitewide configuration, so it filters all inbound mail on my server.

I am having some difficulty with the SpamAssassin per-user preferences configuration. I have attempted, in assorted methods, to get spamd to read a user preferences file. I first set the SPAMD_ARGS to include a -c which, according to the manpage for spamd, forces spamd to create the user preferences files. I cannot find the location where the spamd daemon is creating these, if at all. They're certainly not going into the /home/username/.spamassassin directories.

I've also added the --virtual-config=dir and -x arguments, and supplied a separate directory for files, titled username.prefs, where 'username' is replaced with the username desiring the custom preferences. Spamassassin is still not reading that preferences file, either.

Some users want the required score of 5, while other people want a much "looser" score for SPAM filtering. This is why I need to utilize the per-user configurations. It is entirely possible that I am doing something wrong, and that I don't understand how this is supposed to be configured.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, the documentation is not thorough enough to answer this question - I have RTFM'd several times with no luck, and this is why I am asking you fine people for your assistance!

Thank you in advance,
Gregg
