They have different purposes. > ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs That's for settings that affect only your user. Since it's a single user system, you could put them there if you wanted to. However, that file is loaded and parsed again for every email, so it'll slow things down if you store your settings there. > /usr/share/spamassassin Those are spamassassin's builtin rules and configuration. It's strongly recommended that you not keep your own configuration there, because it will be completely wiped whenever you upgrade spamassassin. Also, it makes it harder to keep track of what's your own. Loaded only when you start spamd. If you do make any changes (don't) you'll have to restart spamd for them to take effect. > /etc/mail/spamassassin System wide configuration. For you, this is the right place to put your changes. After making your changes, be sure to run "spamassassin --lint" to make sure there are no errors. Then you can reload the files by restarting spamd. They'll only be reloaded when you start spamd, not every time a message comes in, so it should be faster. > Are there others? > > I am the only user on the machine. > > And the second questions is when i add a new .cf file, or change an existing > one (including user_prefs), do i need to restart spamd?
