There are quite a few things that will work in user_prefs without this setting. You really only need it if you are defining rules there. > > 3) Why are you declaring rules in user_prefs anyway, instead of a > > .cf file in /etc/mail/spamassassin? > > Probably because there was an easy example for the user_prefs file, > and when I tried the example, it worked as advertised. Do you think > this would make a difference? The main difference between user_prefs and a .cf file is that user_prefs only applies to that one user while the .cf files are global. You should try to avoid defining rules in user_prefs since it can cause some extra overhead as SA has to parse those rules for every message rather than just parsing all of the global rules on startup. You can probably just move the user_prefs contents over to your local.cf (or another .cf file). Can you do per-user rules with Amavis? I thought it was limited to global only? -- Bowie
