One would then expect the contents of a.cf to be read.
Note that it's historically customary to preceed the basic filename
with a two digit number and an underscore. The rules are read in
alphabetical order, which translates to numerical order for the
numbered rules. "local.cf" is read first of all, of course.

I stoped spamd

Then I ran in debug mode
# echo | spamd -D > /root/spamdDiag 2>&1
The following line shows a custom test file I created being read in
Sep 8 21:31:45.423 [10285] dbg: config: read file /etc/mail/spamassassin/a.cf
Thanks.

Have you generated said debug output by running spamd with the -D flag?
That is the debug output that matters. Also run spamassassin -D as a
bog standard user rather than root.
To minimize interruptions to mail flow I'd test it this way:
stop spamd
manually start spamd with the -D flag as well as all the other usual flags
and values.
Run tests through it using regular mail and a manual "spamc".
Stop the -D spamd.
Restart the normal spamd.
This should only take a minute or two.

Yes. The permissions are correct. Yes, the debug output shows that the files
and rules were found and matched against the test message.

Did you set permissions? (-rw-r--r--)
Are there any signs in the debug output that the files were even found at all?
Whatever it is that actually calls spamd or uses spamassassin internally may
do something to direct it off into left field.

Yes. I restarted everything. When this did not work I rebooted the server.
This still did not help.

When I add add custom rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf the rules work
as expected. If I create any *.cf file and put the rules in they do not work.
My test rule is:
body test_match_all /.*/
score test_match_all -0.01
Rules only work if they are in local.cf. If I run the following command:
echo | spamassassin --debug
I can see my custom rules that are in files other than local.cf get called.
Why would they work this way but never get called when spamd is called from
exim?
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Ray
Did you restart spamassassin or the tool that uses spamassassin itself?
