Re: SpamAssassin score rules?

Brian,

I think the mysql tables get populated from the file system files using the load-sa-rules.pl script.  So, if you can find that script, you can look into to see what paths will be searched for spamassassin rule files and overrides.  So, if you are editing your user_prefs file, and it is located in a path that load-sa-rules.pl reads, you should be able to just run that script to have it update your rule overrides.

Thanks,
-Larry

Hi Larry,

On my system I have:
/var/amavisd/.spamassassin
and
/var/amavisd/maia/.spamassassin

Neither of those directories contain a “user_prefs” file; just some Bayes stuff.

Ooh!  But in searching my file system I discovered that there are tables in my mysql database full of maia settings, including SpamAssassin rules.  So I changed a row that was in there for RCVD_IN_DNSWL_HI.  Now to wait and see if it makes a difference.

On that note, clearly I’ve done something to make Maia look to mysql for its configuration.  I suppose it’s up to me to create a web front-end for any settings not accessible from Maia’s own front-end?

Thanks for the tips!
-Brian

So, I think there definitely is a different file than the default spamassassin ones, but it all depends on how the system was configured.
