Our filter runs with only site-wide config.
Users's wouldn't have the skills to edit a user_prefs anyway.

As an admin I sometimes make changes to local.cf and have to restart the
service.

I also handle requests to blacklist or whitelist users, on user request or when
detecting false positives in the logs.
This is done using "spamassassin --add-addr-to-blacklist=" etc. from within
a custom shell script.
This does not require a restart.  That is much better.
Only, unfortunately, those actions do not stick forever.

That is the topic of this bug.  Like others in the comments, I think it should
be fixed.  A blacklist/whitelist is not configuration data so solving it by
putting it in whatever configuration file is just a dirty hack.
