This is answered once a day, thank you Matt Kettler for posting the answer: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
