"THE CODE" will go into a file named "URICountry.pm" and placed in the
same directory as your local.cf file (usually /etc/mail/spamassassin/).
As for the rules, I prefer to create a separate .cf file for them rather
than place them in local.cf (e.g., URICountry.cf), but that is simply a
matter of personal preference - I just like to keep my local.cf clean of
any rules and only use it for configuration settings.
I disagree with placing the "loadplugin" line in the cf file. The
proper place for this entry is in init.pre so that it gets loaded before
any rulesets, and can be referenced as:
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URICountry
/etc/mail/spamassassin/URICountry.pm
Also, at the top of your ruleset you should add:
ifplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URICountry
and at the end:
endif
For example:
==========
ifplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URICountry
uricountry URICOUNTRY_CN CN
header URICOUNTRY_CN eval:check_uricountry('URICOUNTRY_CN')
describe URICOUNTRY_CN Contains a URI hosted in China
tflags URICOUNTRY_CN net
score URICOUNTRY_CN 2.5
uricountry URICOUNTRY_HK HK
header URICOUNTRY_HK eval:check_uricountry('URICOUNTRY_HK')
describe URICOUNTRY_HK Contains a URI hosted in Hong Kong
tflags URICOUNTRY_HK net
score URICOUNTRY_HK 2.5
uricountry URICOUNTRY_IN IN
header URICOUNTRY_IN eval:check_uricountry('URICOUNTRY_IN')
describe URICOUNTRY_IN Contains a URI hosted in India
tflags URICOUNTRY_IN net
score URICOUNTRY_IN 2.5
endif
==========
This will allow you to comment out the URICourntry "loadplugin" line in
your init.pre file if you should want to disable the URICourntry test
without having to remove the URICounrty.cf file (it will not load the
ruleset unless the plugin has been pre-loaded).
