Apache SpamAssassin custom ruleset files

[andryan]

Hi guys,

I was trying to find a way to add SoughtRules to my cPanel's SpamAssassin. I followed the instruction to use sa-update to add the new GPG key and its channel (Test my auto-generated ruleset).

Now there is a new file named sought_rules_yerp_org.cf in in /var/lib/spamassassin/3.003002/ and a new folder named sought_rules_yerp_org/.

Does this new ruleset channel gets read by SpamAssassin? I noticed /var/log/maillog when SA was restarted, it only mentioned:
Sep 13 02:04:42 stitch spamd[557386]: zoom: able to use 425/428 'body_0' compiled rules (99.299%)

Can someone from cPanel provide an answer to this? I noticed every post on this forum related to SpamAssassin, Pyzor, Razor2, DCC are rarely replied by cPanel staff while I believe most cPanel customers have plenty of email customers as well on their cPanel servers.


Cheers,
Andryan

Hello

You can edit the following file to make local customizations to SpamAssassin:

/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

This guide should be helpful for implementing custom rules:
