Spamassassin is ignoring user_prefs

Spamassassin is ignoring user_prefs

[Chris Rose]

Or, it sure seems to be..  I don't know that this is the right place to 
ask this, but it seems appropriate.  I have spamassassin being called as 
part of my maildrop .mailfilter file, and it seems to completely ignore 
both the .spamassassin/user_prefs and .spamassassin/user_prefs.cf files, 
since i'm trying to blacklist an address. but no joy.

I tried the automated --add-addr-to-blacklist= option as well, in case i 
was putting it in the wrong place, but all that option does is *create* 
the .spamassassin/user_prefs file, but it doesn't place anything on a 
blacklist therein.

Is there an option to unset somewhere that is causing spamassassin to 
ignore my user prefs?

Actually try the spamassassin user mailing list:

Try the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file.  SpamAssassin checks this
before anything else.
