You do *not* need allow_user_rules, to enable per-user whitelist_* or blacklist_* settings. See the docs [1], and pay special attention to the first sentence in the User Preferences section. Also note that Whitelist and Blacklist Options is a sub-section of this. :) On a related note, the plain whitelist_from without a rcvd or auth constraint is dangerous to use. If possible, always use the constraint ones, and the plain one strictly as a fall-back if there is no other possibility -- and you really need the whitelist. In almost all cases, you don't, and the real problem (if any) goes by unnoticed. > This is what my various config files look like: > > $ tail -n1 /etc/spamassassin/local.cf > allow_user_rules 1 > > $ cat ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs > header L_TO_ME ToCc =~ /ron\.l\.johns...@cox\.net/ > describe L_TO_ME Email addressed to me > score L_TO_ME 0.010 For this, you need allow_user_rules 1. > whitelist_from nytdir...@nytimes.com For this, you don't. However, you did *not* show any evidence, headers, or whatever, that the L_TO_ME user rule does not work... How is SA called? Are you using per-user configuration?
