The way it works is that Amavis uses SpamAssassin routines to score the mail and then uses its own settings to decide what to do with the mail based on the SA score. /etc/mail/spamasassin/local.cf is the main "settings" file for SA (along with other stuff in that directory). This tells SA how to process the mail. /etc/amavisd.conf is the "settings" file for Amavis. It tells Amavis what to do with the mail that SA has processed. Anything having to do with rules and plugins is done with the SA configuration files. Anything having to do with required scores and message markup/rejection is done with the Amavis config file. Note that these directories may be slightly different depending on your distribution and installation method. -- Bowie
