Does SA read rules in both places? it eveal first sa-update rules, then later host rules Or only in /etc/mail/spamassassin/? this is host rules, you define all global configs here, and it will never be overrided by sa-update add rules to userprefs.cf in same place as local.cf is, score userprefs rules with nearly zerro score, but not zerro 0, why this ? if done this way scores can be changed in ldap/sql pr user, even in $HOME./spamassassin/user-prefs more help, then i need more info :=)

/var/lib/spamassassin is where channels put their rules. /etc/mail/spamassassin
is where the host admin puts her
customizations. I like to use separate files for different policies, named
after each effect I'm trying to get. SA will load
anything there with a .cf extension.

Reading the "man" page documentation for spamassassin, it lists several
different directories that SA looks for its config files in and the order that
it reads them from.
The possible directories are distro and version specific so you need to read the
docs for your specific instance.

Question about sa-updates
I just ran sa-updates. Then I looked in /etc/mail/spamassassin to see if the rules had been updated, and none of them had today’s date on them So, I downloaded the tar file, unzipped it, and searched for one of the files. I found them in /var/lib/spamassassin/…. I scratched my head, then looked up the man page for sa-update on the web. Sure enough, that’s where the rules go.
