Your local.cf gets parsed *AFTER* this file, so your local.cf overides 10_default_prefs.cf.
Note: for this to work 10_default_prefs.cf MUST NOT be in your /etc/mail/spamassassin. It belongs in /usr/share/spamassassin, as do ALL the rulefiles that come with SA. Only your site-specific customizations should be in /etc/mail/spamassassin. > Would someone kindly point me to other *recommended* reading on the > importance of this file other than what I have found at this link > > http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.2.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html My bigger question is, why not just let the SA installer install all this stuff? Why are you mucking about hand-installing the rules in the first place?
