Ahh, I think perhaps I'm misunderstanding this (from the man page):

"sa-compile uses re2c to compile the site-wide parts of the SpamAssassin
ruleset. No part of user_prefs or any files included from user_prefs can
be built into the compiled set"

I understood site-wide rules to mean those stored in
/etc/mail/spamassassin (as well as those in /usr/share/spamassassin), and
user prefs to be the per-user rules (when used). Is this incorrect? Does
sa-compile only compile the stock spamassassin rules from
/usr/share/spamassassin?

Super, thanks.
