I lost all list mail for Saturday August 9; if anyone has an idea, it didn't
reach my mailbox.
Trying again. Someone must have a hint abut what's going wrong.
This problem Should Not Be Occurring.
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.
Nothing else has changed; still FreeBSD, sendmail, procmail
spamassassin is called from procmailrc as
| /usr/local/bin/spamassassin
We do NOT use spamd.
My reading of Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf indicates that tests defined in
~/spamassassin/user_prefs ARE be used if the user calls SA from procmailrc
(as I do).

Further reading of the docs more closely indicates that allow_user_rules is
not what I want.
This setting allows users to create rules (and only rules) in their
"user_prefs" files for use with "spamd".
We don't use spamd.
Problem reiterated:
In my ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs I have several tests, including this one:
header CF_SUB_UID Subject =~ /vlb|Vicki/i
describe CF_SUB_UID Subject: contains my ID
score CF_SUB_UID 5
My local/private tests defined in my user_prefs are not running
For example, in this message, Subject should match vlb; yet test CF_SUB_UID
was not run

Subject: vlb It works

All users on our system run spamassassin from their procmailrc's. Therefore,
all users should be able to use 'privileged' settings. Therefore, tests
defined in my ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs
file should be running.
What am I (still) missing that used to work in 2.43 before I upgraded to 2.55?
Why are the tests in my user_prefs file no longer being run?
