Never change /etc/share/spamassassin or the /var/lib/spamassassin

with new ones. That change should probably be made in local.cf or
maybe better a new "99_local.cf" of your own.
Ah, thanks for this. I always make changes in /etc files...for
some reason, I just thought SA was an exception to the rule. I've changed
them back. I read "report_contact" changes the person to contact...so I
thought I should grep through the cf files to find where it occurs and
change the text that follows it. Wrong thing to do... Thanks for
correcting me!
Well, there was a bit of a mis-statement there. All system wide
configuration rule type settings should be in files named with a
".cf" on the end such as the example I gave above, "99_local.cf",
I see. The order is really "directory order" and not so much as
file order. All .cf files within each of the directories are read.
Thanks!
Ray
