First this is on a training server running Ubuntu 14, VestaCP, Exim4 etc. In doc https://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.1.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html Under RULE DEFINITIONS AND PRIVILEGED SETTINGS It it my understanding that to use the a user_prefs file I have to place in some config file
*allow_user_rules 1* first. And then write rules into the user_prefs file. WHAT I DID I have placed the allow_user_rules rule in */usr/share/spamassassin/local.cf <http://local.cf/>* AND */etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf <http://local.cf/> * THEN placed in the user_prefs file the following rule *blacklist_from *@gmail.com <http://gmail.com/>* and restarted spamassassin Thinking this will mark mail from my gmail account as SPAM. When I look in the logs I do not see the test emails marked as spam AND when I go into the webmail client the email was placed in the inbox not in the junk box. I have tested with GTUBE spam and that does get marked and placed in the junk box. Is the above the correct sequence? Am I missing a step? Please advise Amanda
