My local tests (defined in ~/spamassassin/user_prefs) are not being run.
These tests were run when we used SpamAssassin 2.43. Now we have upgraded to 2.55 and the tests are not being run.
Read the manpage.. this is disabled by default in 2.55 for security paranoia reasons, at least when you're running spamd it is. If you add "allow_user_rules" to local.cf, then rules in user_prefs will be parsed.
The reason it's disabled is to prevent the possibility of a malicious non-root user from abusing the regexes to do evil things like open pipes, etc in the name of spamd. I don't think there's any direct holes in SA along these lines, but disabling it by default is a good paranoid stance to prevent possible exploits.
