As for "doesn't work", that's not very useful. Have you tried "spamassassin -D --lint"? Is it using the /etc/mail/spamassassin area? Any errors from --lint?
Here's the output from the above cmd, can you shed some light on why its trying to use /root/.spamassassin directory and files ? should i be pointing it to a different location for systemwide rules?
What are the different score sets used for, just debug ?

The site rules file - /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf, i can add any lines similiar to the .cf files in /usr/share/spamassassin, anything from whitrelists to header and body checks, and it will be read after the default rules, correct ?
The following is part of my 10_misc.cf,
The file which i will create : /etc/mail/spamassassin/auto-whitelist, what format/syntax should it be, a db file or just a text file containing lines like these :
whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] domainA.com
Is this the proper way how to make sytemwide whitelists active ?
