Where'd you get the idea that local.cf is processed after 25_uribl.cf?
It looks to me to be the other way around. My 25_uribl.cf (current
toaster release) contains "ifplugin
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URIDNSBL" at the beginning, so I'm
guessing that if it's not loaded by then, the rule doesn't fire.
Besides which, since local.cf contains things such as skip_rbl_checks,
wouldn't it have to be processed first?
$ spamassassin -D --lint
<cut>
debug: using "/usr/share/spamassassin" for default rules dir
<cut>
debug: config: read file /usr/share/spamassassin/25_uribl.cf
<cut>
debug: using "/etc/mail/spamassassin" for site rules dir
<cut>
debug: config: read file /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
that's why :)
on the other hand, since it's Perl, it seems reasonable that all the
config files are probably read and parsed into a big data structure, and
then all the conditional logic gets applied, so that hopefully the only
issue related to precedence is when you redefine the same value
somewhere else (which is kind of the point of having local.cf load last,
so that you can clobber any default values that are set elsewhere
without needing to hack on the files in /usr/share/spamassassin any more
than necessary).
Sounds reasonable, and consistent with what I've observed.
right now i'm not up for diving into Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf and
figuring out what really happens, though. anyone?
Me too. I'm satisfied for now.
Hopefully the new wiki page will cover it (haven't been there yet).
