Custom Rule Location
I think this may have been answered before, but I can't find it in the archives. Custom rules can be kept in /etc/spamassassin/whateva.cf files no problem. I would like to keep some rules separate for maintenance, by keeping rules I write in /etc/spamassassin/custom/, and some that friends write in /home/customrulessa/. Is there a way to include these locations into the rules path at all?

What I'm looking to do is have SA look in these directories in addition to the default locations. I don't have a problem putting rules there Benny. I have a problem getting SA to look there for them :-)

Hi, What I'm looking to do is have SA look in these directories in addition to the default locations. I don't have a problem putting rules there Benny. I have a problem getting SA to look there for them :-) Are you talking about doing something like having myrules.cf in /etc/mail/spamassassin, which contains something like this: include /path/to/other/rules/ruleset1.cf include /path/to/other/rules/ruleset2.cf ...

HTH, Alex Almost, I'm looking to have SA to include one or two extra directories where one or many ruleset.cf files may be: include /path/to/other/custom_rules_johndoe/* include /path/to/other/custom_rules_janedoe/* I'm not sure I get if I can/cannot do this. It would make things tidier. At the moment my rsync has to have a shed load of ignore clauses and I'm thinking 'there has to be a better way?'

I'd say its worth a try, anyway. If it works the main drawback is likely to be a speed penalty since my guess is that SA will treat it like userprefs and parse the files in it before each message is scanned. Martin
SpamAssassin 3.3
Is there a roadmap for the release of SA 3.3? a best guess on when it might be released? A URL I should be reading instead of posting to the list? -- Gods don't like people not doing much work. People who aren't busy all the time might start to think. --Small Gods

Probably the best roadmap would be to look at the list of bugs assigned against 3.3.0 https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/buglist.cgi?query_format=advancedbug_status=NEWbug_status=ASSIGNEDbug_status=REOPENEDversion=3.3.0 a best guess on when it might be released? when it's done... It shouldn't be too terribly long now before a beta is released, based on reading some of the latest dev list traffic. However, exactly how long that is depends a lot on how much free time the team has. A URL I should be reading instead of posting to the list? You can always browse the dev list archives. There's often good tidbits on there (and often lots of noise to.. but...) http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/spamassassin-dev/
