The creator of antidrug posted a thorugh explanation of the where and when regarding this rule (see marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=spamassassin-users&m=116965442518029&w=2). Without trying to sound holier-than-thou (lord knows, I'm the last one that should cop that attitude), you should search the archives first. That said, a precis of Matt Kettler's post: 1. The location of antidrug.cf has moved, and; 2. It's included in SA 3+ and, in fact, can be counter-productive if used in combination with same. HTH.
