I'm running SpamAssassin using spamd, and invoking on my own system
through an entry in procmailrc. SpamAssassin runs fine and does indeed
properly filter out a lot of spam.

Yesterday, I added a number of rules to $HOME/.spamassassin/user_prefs.

I ran /home/alayne/sausr/bin/spamassassin -D < /tmp/testspam
and it used the rules I added on the spam message.

I read SA-rules-howto.txt -- it said I had to create
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
and put in the allow_user_rules option.

So I created
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root    19 Jan 20 22:39 /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

which contains the one line:

allow_user_rules 1

I killed and restarted spamd.

The spam I was trying to catch doesn't seem to be going through the rules
I added. What else do I have to do?

Thanks for any help ...
