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?
