Re: SpamAssassin score rules?

Brian,

On most of my systems that I have installed, maia uses the directory /var/amavis or /var/amavisd and in that directory there is a .spamassassin folder with a user_prefs file that maia uses.  So, I think there definitely is a different file than the default spamassassin ones, but it all depends on how the system was configured.  

Thanks,
-Larry

Subject: [Maia-users] SpamAssassin score rules?

Hi,

Question: Does maia feed SpamAssassin its rules from some other place 
that would override settings in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf?

The story:

I've recently learned that DNSWL intentionally returns false-positives 
as an abuse-mitigating technique.  While I find a more permanent 
solution (setting up my own caching resolver for SpamAssassin's personal 
use), I've tried adding this to /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf:

score RCVD_IN_DNSWL_HI  -0.01

based on advice in an article on linode 
(https://www.linode.com/community/questions/21413/rcvd_in_dnswl_hi-false-positives) 


Problem is, it's not having any effect.  RCVD_IN_DNSWL_HI is still 
getting scored -5, causing a lot of SPAM to get through when DNSWL gets 
tired of my default public resolvers nagging them.

There are no user-level SpamAssassin configurations 
(~/.spamassassin/user_prefs) that would override the 
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf settings, as far as I can find.

Thanks,
-Brian
