It depends on your definition of "default". ;-)
The "main default" stuff is in /etc/mail/spamassassin. However, on Debian
systems, there is a little file in /etc/default (/etc/default/spamassassin)

I had SA working sweetly on Debian unstable. Today I have been trying to
get things going on a new install of Debian testing on the same machine.
I'm using the same SA version (2.63) as before. I used apt-get for the SA

If I feed the mail to "spamassassin" via procmail, it works. Howe

Sorry - Lost the thread - The image of the doc
in white coat selling drugs seems to be easily learned by Bayes, which added
enough to tag by itself:
X-Spam-Report:
* 1.2 HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_02 BODY: HTML: images with 0-200 bytes of words
* 0.1 HTML_50_60 BODY: Message is 50% to 60% HTML
* 0.1
My understanding is that user_prefs overrides what is in
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf. I use local.cf for site-wide settings, but
users can still change their own user_prefs file for their preferences.
