Spamassassin settings

[ikt]

Hi,

If I wish to change a value of a score in spamassassin, where does one change this?

I have changed in /root/.spamassassin/user_prefs to no avail.

Many thanks

You changed it in the spamassassin file of the root user, but root is not running spamassassin so this file is never read. Change it in /etc/spamassassin/local.cf instead.

Still not picking it up.

score RCVD_IN_BRBL_LASTEXT 5.0
score URIBL_PH_SURBL 5.0
score URIBL_BLACK 5.0
score URIBL_DBL_SPAM 3.0

is what I added to /etc/spamassassin/local.cf

and URIBL_PH_SURBL=0.61 is what came through on the test email.

Any ideas?

Did you restart amavisd after you changed the values?

Yup, then rebooted the whole server just to be sure.

edit:

amavisdebug
localcf

If these help.

edit edit: I mean I can see it picking up the rules correctly, so I don't understand where it's going wrong ... it's now working...

o_O

edit edit edit edit: ok the fix is you make a file called 90_myrules.cf in /etc/spamassassin with your scores in it, then reboot spamassassin and amavis.
