    Default Where is the server-wide SpamAssassin config file?

    It used to be in

    /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
    but those rules are not functional anymore. Any other ideas? Thanks!

    I'd appreciate any info on this. How can I setup the global SA configs? Thanks!

    We load our rules into /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and it picks them up just fine.

    I just ran an extra test now on two servers and it's definitely still a goer.

    WHM 11.15.0 cPanel 11.18.0-S20595
    REDHAT Enterprise 4 i686 on standard - WHM X v3.1.0

    WHM 11.15.0 cPanel 11.18.0-S20595
    CENTOS Enterprise 4.6 i686 on standard - WHM X v3.1.0

    Remember to restart exim of course.

    Well it's not working for me.

    For example, I have "required_score" set at 5, and my own scores for several tests. But the incoming email headers show a required_score of 2.5 and different scores. What gives? How can I debug this? Exim has been started many times.

    Also remember that the global rules have a lower priority to the local rules at /home/*/.spamassassin/user_prefs

    Are you sure you're not overriding the values locally prior to your test?

    In WHM there is a setting:

    SpamAssassinTM: Enable for all users without the option for users to shut off per account. [?]
    WHen I disable this, it is supposed to look at /home/.../user_prefs file, but it doesn't. WHen I disable that option, the SA just comes in without ANY checks at all! So all the spam comes in. So I have enabled that option. But where this is picking up the "global conf" is beyond me. It is certainly not coming from /etc/...spamassassin/local.conf.

    Any other ideas?

    Did you get any help with this? I can't seem to get one of my servers to pay attention to the local.cf file either. I want it to rewrite header information.
