It depends. If you are using *nix it is dependent on the *nix brand or
Linux distribution. For example in Debian it is in /etc/default/spamassassin
My config: default --maxchildren
---------------------------(8<)-----------------------------------
# NOTE: version 3.0.x has switched to a "preforking" model, so you
# need to make sure --max-children is not set to anything higher than
# 5, unless you know what you're doing.
OPTIONS="--siteconfigpath=/etc/spamassassin --nouser-config -q \
-i 0.0.0.0 -A 127.0.0.1,10.0.0.0/8 -u spam -l --allow-tell"
---------------------------(8<)-----------------------------------
The config location can be seen in /etc/init.d/spamassassin (or spamd),
where it reads the config settings. The settings may be in that script
itself, as well.
