hmm, thought someone already answered. Yep, it's a limitation that's been in SpamAssassin for a long time -- currently (in 3.0.x) you can call Mail::SpamAssassin::copy_config() to copy a "clean" configuration object, before reading user preferences, then copy it again to get back to the clean config. We're hoping to get a fix in for 3.1.0 which'll be more sensible.
The earlier reply didn't go to that extent, but with your info, makes more sense. :)
I'll see what I can do with that - thanks much!
