I usually recommend that people place third party plugins into their site or local rules directory (ie /etc/mail/spamassassin) and then specify that path in the loadplugin line. For instance, if you download MyPlugin.pm from the wiki, copy it to /etc/mail/spamassassin. Create a myplugin.pre file and put the following: loadplugin MyPlugin /etc/mail/spamassassin/MyPlugin.pm In the above config line the name of the plugin is actually the perl package name, so if its Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::MyPlugin then the config line will look like: loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::MyPlugin /etc/mail/spamassassin/MyPlugin.pm Mucking around with the site_perl lib directories by hand is asking for trouble.
