The *only* user_prefs file used is the one used by your amavisd-new
user, often something like /var/amavis/.spamassassin/user_prefs
One option is to use 'soft' w/b listing which can be done on a
per-recipient basis, and each recipient can have their own w/b hash
list. If you use static tables however, you have to reload amavisd-new
after each change.
See the example in the @score_sender_maps section of
amavisd.conf-sample, and modify it to use hash lists:
@score_sender_maps = ({ # a by-recipient hash lookup table
# # per-recipient personal tables (NOTE: positive: black, negative: white)
# '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' => [{'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' => 10.0}],
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' => [ read_hash("/home/user1/user1wb") ],
<...>
contents of /home/user1/user1wb:
.spamking.net 10.0
.elsevier.com -7.0
.ebay.com -7.0
.pentapharm.com -5.0
.enterprise-ireland.com -7.0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -2.0
The problem with letting users maintain these files would be if they
delete or rename their file, amavisd-new would fail to start. It
would be better if the admin maintained them at some other location.
Maybe a script that allowed users to append to their file would work.
You can use SQL (or LDAP) which would not require a reload after each
change, but changes to the database would typically be done by an
admin, or a custom program could be used to allow users limited
update abilities.
