Hi Kevin, Any .cf file will be processed in /etc/mail/spamassassin and /usr/share/spamassassin. However, you are advised to avoid /usr/share/spamassassin as an update/upgrade will delete the directory and install a new - one so any custom rules will be wiped out. The links below will help you in learning how to write custom rules as well as provide numerous that you can either download, copy, or just use as examples. Read Matt Kettler's page first for a good howto.
