It seems as if spamass-milter is using the -u to specify a default user. It
also seems as if spamass-milter will attempt to discover the (first)
recipient if -x is also used. Spamass-milter will then use -u to pass the
username default for first detected to spamc so that spamc can use
personalized settings.
Right. Sorry, I misworded my description a bit.
I am fairly sure that setting a rule score to zero bypasses the rule (vs.
running it and ignoring the result) but you will probably want to test that
to confirm whether the RBL is checked anyways. However, if the RBL check is
written as a subrule then it can't be disabled this way as subrules don't
have scores to set to zero.
ACK
This matches my tests.
Oh, good. Thanks for the confirmation.
That last option sounds to me like the first one you should explore.
Thankfully, and to my surprise, SpamAssassin / spamass-milter /is/ attempting
personalization.
"-u spamass-milter" was already in place.
I added "-x" to cause spamass-milter to try to detect the first user, tweaked
permissions (group membership) to allow spamass-milter to run sendmail -bv to
detect some other users correctly, and now things seem to be working much
closer to how I want.
Initial testing seems very promising use of heavily modified
~/.spamassassin/user_prefs.
Good news!
