(1) I currently have no local.cf. I assume the default location is
/etc/mail/spamassassin.
This seems rather amazing. This is the normal place that the standard SA
options live.
Grep around for *.cf files and see where they live. You really should find
some in two different places. There will be a large number in
/etc/something where SA is physically installed. There should be some few
more, including local.cf, in /usr/something, typically.
Alternately, run 'spamassassin --lint -D' from a command line and it will
twll you where it is looking to find rules.
(2) I assume that I just add the string:
TRUSTED_RULESETS="SARE_GENLSUBJ0 SARE_OBFU SARE_REDIRECT_POST300
SARE_ADULT SARE_HEADER0 SARE_CODING SARE_SPECIFIC SARE_SPOOF SARE_FRAUD
SARE_WHITELIST_SPF SARE_WHITELIST_RCVD SARE_URI0 SARE_OEM SARE_STOCKS";
to my local.cf
NO! That string is part of the configuration file for RulesDuJour, ir RDJ
is it is commonly referenced. It, along with the rest of the configuration
file, will cause a number of rules files to be downloaded from
www.rulesemporium.com and stored into the correct directory on your machine
that contains the SA "local" rules files. If you put that in local.cf you
will get syntax errors.
(3) What suffix would I use for the rules file.
SA rules files end in a *.cf suffix. However, as mentioned above, those
lines will retrieve complete rules files that are already appropriately
named.
