I'm stuck with user_prefs here, and don't have any access to local.cf; therefore on the first pass of any email, only stock SA rules are scored. That's good, but I really hate spam. So I found a way to do a second pass against SA. Anything which is definitively flagged as ham or spam during the first pass is accepted as such. Anything which hasn't been confirmed is then fed to a second SA pass, which uses the additional rules in my user_prefs file. Relevant point: Since the first pass does network tests, and those tests didn't prove sufficient, I do only local testing during my second pass. You'd want to reverse this: Do local testing on your first pass, and determine whether that's sufficient to flag something as spam. If so, do with it what you do with spam. If the first pass does not flag as spam, then feed the emails into a second SA pass, this time turning on network tests. How you do this will depend upon your specific mail system (ie: what does and/or can call SA).
