spamassasin ignoring user_prefs required level

[kyleodonnell]

Hi,

My user has:

required_score 5.0
rewrite_header subject [SPAM]

in ~/.spamassasin/user_prefs

Yet spam is still coming through, after checking the header I see:

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on
X-Spam-Level: *********
X-Spam-Status: No, score=9.7 required=10.0 tests=BAYES_50,HK_NAME_DRUGS,
HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_24,HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_HTML_ONLY,MISSING_MID,
RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET,RCVD_IN_SORBS_WEB,URIBL_BLACK,URIBL_DBL_SPAM
autolearn=no version=3.3.1


Any ideas where its getting the required from? Am I setting it in the wrong place?

Thanks!
Kyle

Did he changed the options at DirectAdmin controlpanel, on the SpamAssassin Setup page?

 

[kyleodonnell]

its actually my account and ive tried editing through the web interface and via vi editing the file no luck

 

[daveyw]

Changing with webinterface should be enough

 

[kyleodonnell]

ive changed only with the web interface, doesnt seem to be working still.

any other thoughts?

Is there a default local.cf in /etc/mail/spamassassin/? Maybe its picking up a default from there.

 

[kyleodonnell]

nope! but let me try changing it there

 

[kyleodonnell]

spoke too soon it seems to have reverted back to 10.0 somehow

success!

simply editing that file seems to now take my own user_prefs

(i set the file to 6.0 and my own to 5.0 and my email is using 5.0)

very strange!

thanks very much!
