Again, I'm an end-user.  I own a domain on a shared server, and I don't
have access to local.cf -- that system-wide file and its directory can be
updated only by the hosts who own the machine, not me and the 400 others
who have domains running on this machine.

I'm limited to ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs, and by design in the current
versions I can change rule scores, but I can't add even the simplest of
rules.

There should be a class of rules which are safe enough for people like me
to add through user_prefs, perhaps those that limit their scope to
regular expression patterns where wild-card areas (areas where any
character(s) match) are limited to 5 or fewer characters?

I understand the dangers of allowing full access to making all rules to
user_prefs users, and I wouldn't want someone from a different domain
causing problems on the server because he creates a rule which slows
email delivery down horribly. But there has to be some kind of compromise
which gives us the ability to add our own (hopefully temporary) rules
while waiting for the master rule-set to catch up to modern spam.
