correct. They are not really filters, though, but "rules". Based on that, there should be no need to have the > same filter in each directory, correct?

You *add* custom rules in /etc/mail/spamassassin and you configure SA with local.cf in that dir. You can also override scores of the default rules with scores in /etc/mail/spamassassin. So, don't view them as exclusive, they complement and override each other. > > The reason I ask this is because I can not get razor to work unless > 20_body_tests.cf is located in /etc/mail/spamassassin. I can't say anything about Razor, we don't use it. But this file doesn't belong there.
