hello
i want to add new rules but whenever i test the demonstration rule, it is "forgotten" by SA...
My rule is define in my user_prefs file and i tested is with spamassassin --lint...
Please help me...
If you are using spamd, by default ALL rules in user_prefs will be ignored.
Apparently the rules howto is missing this. I'll add it tonight, but I could swear I had it in there before.
To re-quote myself:
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.
