The user_prefs file should be created in ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs. Is it? And if it is, does it contain your templated stuff? Aside from putting the user-specific config in the right place, spamassassin has to been told to use it. In your site-local spamassassin config file (probably /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf) or in a separate .cf file in the same directory as that file, add this line: allow_user_rules 1 This is however a bad idea unless you have very trustworthy users. Also note this (from the spamassassin man page): Note that it is not currently possible to use "allow_user_rules" to modify an existing system rule from a "user_prefs" file with "spamd". You saw this mentioned in the user_prefs stuff you quoted: [...]users can add new rules for their own use in the "~/.spamassassin/user_prefs" file, if they like. (spamd disables this for security and increased speed.)
