For what its worth, the init.pre file is critical. The /root/.cpan/.... Is were the source is downloaded and compiled by CPAN. The "make install" that CPAN automatically does puts all the user .cf files in the /etc/mail/spamassassin directory. This is where the init.pre if found. If its missing (I accidentally deleted mine), SURBL won't work. This is also where you can get several other plugins working such as SPF and RelayCountry. RelayCountry is for helping Bayes do a better job detecting Spam.
The list I have in my /etc/mail/spamassassin is... 70_sare_adult.cf 70_sare_unsub.cf init.pre 70_sare_bayes_poison_nxm.cf 70_sare_uri.cf local.cf 70_sare_genlsubj0.cf 72_sare_bml_post25x.cf vmcrules.cf 70_sare_header0.cf 72_sare_redirect_post3.0.0.cf weeds.cf 70_sare_html0.cf 99_sare_fraud_post25x.cf tripwire.cf 70_sare_oem.cf bogus-virus-warnings.cf zzwhitelist.cf 70_sare_random.cf chickenpox.cf 70_sare_specific.cf evilnumbers.cf 70_sare_spoof.cf surblrules.cf Note: surblrules.cf is a personal rule set where I added Jeff's JP SURBL list, the vmcrules.cf are my personal rules (mostly negative scores of words that would apply to our business), and zzwhitelist.cf is where I put domains and addresses that are manually whitelisted. <<Dan>> > -----Original Message----- > From: Anton Krall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, November 06, 2004 3:42 PM > To: 'Michele Neylon::Blacknight Solutions' > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; users@spamassassin.apache.org > Subject: RE: Rules List > > Is this ok? > > /root/.cpan/build/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.1/rules/init.pre > > -----Original Message----- > From: Michele Neylon::Blacknight Solutions > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sábado, 06 de Noviembre de 2004 02:03 p.m. > To: Anton Krall > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; users@spamassassin.apache.org > Subject: RE: Rules List > > On Sat, 2004-11-06 at 13:57 -0600, Anton Krall wrote: > > Im using 3.0..
