When I add add custom rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf the rules work as expected. If I create any *.cf file and put the rules in they do not work. My test rule is:
body test_match_all /.*/ score test_match_all -0.01 Rules only work if they are in local.cf. If I run the following command: echo | spamassassin --debug I can see my custom rules that are in files other than local.cf get called. Why would they work this way but never get called when spamd is called from exim? Thanks for any help you can provide, Ray
