Finally, I wanted to try user_prefs via MySQL db. I followed the README in the sql subdir, I assured that the db/table is there and accessable by the user, I added user_scores_dsn etc. to the local.cf, I reloaded spamd. There's no indication that it's getting used. I reread everything, including the Conf documentation. When I follow the testing instructions (cat file | spamc) in the README I do not see any mentioning of user preferences in the spamd output (neither "retrieving from db" nor that it uses the .spamassassin dir of the user) at all. If I run spamassassin -D (which is not noted as a test in the README, but I can't see any mention that only spamd would use the sql db, so this should be valid, too) I see it looking for the prefs dir but not for the db.
*No errors whatsoever.* The /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file *is* getting used, all other options in there are taken, just not user_scores* I'm using 2.60-cvs. I had a version of about two weeks ago and although I couldn't believe it could be that broken (it "makes test" fine) I got a new one from cvs minutes ago and the sql db still doesn't kick in. The only thing I haven't tried yet is checking out if the db is nevertheless getting used but the usage doesn't show up in the -D output. After all, that's just what -D is for and I would also assume that if using the db spamassassin -D shouldn't go for the .spamassassin dir as it does now? What am I doing wrong?
