Check
http://www.spamassassin.org/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html#privileged%20settings
specifically the allow_user_rules setting. If you don't allow user_prefs
rules, then no spamd/spamc execution will use them.

user_prefs is referenced (when spamd/spamc is working properly) for score
adjustments, parameter settings (bayes on/off), blacklists, and
whitelists. Rules defined in user_prefs are ignored, however, unless
a) allow_user_rules is turned on, or
b) you run SA directly as that user, not through spamd/spamc
