using user_prefs with amavisd-new

30 Mar 2004 22:58:32 -0000

I'm using spamassassin from amavisd-new. Some of my users would like to user their own user_prefs file. I created my own user_prefs file ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs, but SA seems to be ignoring it. Is there anything special I need to do to get SA to look at user_prefs when called from amavisd-new?

I added "allow_user_rules 1" to my /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf:

more /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
# These values can be overridden by editing ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs.cf
# (see spamassassin(1) for details)

# These should be safe assumptions and allow for simple visual sifting
# without risking lost emails.

required_hits 5
rewrite_subject 1
subject_tag [SPAM]
report_safe 0
allow_user_rules 1

my user_prefs file:

ls -l .spamassassin/user_prefs
-rw------- 1 prentice staff 78 Mar 30 15:03 .spamassassin/user_prefs

more .spamassassin/user_prefs
# How many hits before a mail is considered spam.
required_hits           3.8

The comments in the file /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf indicate that the user prefs file should be named ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs.cf, but the manpage refers to it as user_prefs. Which is it? I copied user_prefs to user_prefs.cf, so both files exist, but it's still not using them.
