Hi Frank,

The local.cf file is a system file.  I don't know exim but on a qmail setup it should 
go into the /etc/mail/spamassassin directory since it is accessed by spamassassin 
itself.  What I'm trying to say is that it is not "user" specific in the sense that it 
should go in all the users directories to work.  SA will always read it first before 
processing the rest of its rules and giving an answer.

Also you have viagra spelt wrong!  ;)  If that is what you are trying to catch then 
try v.ag.ra instead of viagara.  They usually substitute the "i" for a 1 or a l to 
deceive SA. If you also want to catch that second a then just put a .

Hope this helps.

John M

Subject: [SAtalk] [RD] Is this correct for local.cf


Hi!

Sorry for the low level question, but I want to make sure I am going in the
right direction.  We're running netBSD 1.6 with Exim 4.2.  my user directory
is /usr/pkg/etc/spamassassin.
do I just use the local.cf file in that directory?
Should the setup below allow mail to the domain whiting.ca and assign 3
points to any email that has the word "viagara" in it?
Am I supposed to tell SpamAssassin to start using local.cf through some
options file?

Thanks everybody.
Frank
