This is probably something better asked on the users list because the
most likely cause is a bad config.

Are you absolutely sure it is 3.0.2?  I ask because there was a bug
like this in 3.0.0, but it was fixed.

Did this work before?  How are you starting spamd? How are you calling
spamd? with spamc? are you passing in the username? Are you running in
a site wide configuration?

whitelist_* and blacklist_* are not "user-level rules" so...

This doesn't do what you think it does.  This allows you to put new
rules in your user_prefs file and can be a security risk (hopefully
Webmin makes this clear before allowing you to turn it on).
