Made my first rule but is not checking anything? Do I need to
enable that?
I'm a common user, just have a hosting account and spamassassin 3.1.7
enabled.
The only directory in all my ftp folder that contains something related to
SA is
in root .spamassassin, where lives just 4 files, one of these is user_prefs.
In same folder added a new rule I made (a .cf file) and droped there.
My .cf file contains this:
>>>
header PALABRAS_MALAS_SUBJECT Subject =~ /\belefantes|ilegales|africanos\b
describe PALABRAS_MALAS_SUBJECT Contiene palabras malas en el asunto
score PALABRAS_MALAS_SUBJECT 1.1
>>
My intention was: If any of the words: elefantes OR ilegales OR africanos is
found on Subject,
then score that email 1.1.
Then uploaded the file to that folder (I don't know if that's enough or I
must "enable" something to tell SA that reads that rule.
Then sent an email to me using a yahoo email account (not whitelisted) and
my email came, took a look at header of message and saw this:
>>>
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.7 (2006-10-05) on
gator73.hostgator.com
X-Spam-Level:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.0 required=4.0 tests=HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=ham
version=3.1.7
>>>
I expected there to appear something like: PALABRAS_MALAS_SUBJECT 1.1
My questions:
1) Is the rule ok?
2) Is it enough with uploading the .cf files to that folder in order to
work?
3) When a message comes, SA reads all the rules and tags the header
according those that give positive values?
4) What is going on?

If they're running spamd or generally anything other than the "spamassassin"
script, rules in user_prefs are ignored.

It depends how they have things setup. SA is likely running as a daemon, so
all the rules and such are read once and then used for each message coming in.
Rules with a score of 0 aren't run. There may be header markup, depends on
the configs and how it's run.
> 4) What is going on?
You really want to talk to the hosting provider about their setup and
what they allow on their systems.

I did but didn't see any of that in message header pressing ctrl F3 in OE...
So perhaps is not working or either it is but there is no way I notice

Just to confirm that works, try putting this into your user_prefs
file:
describe TESTING_USERPREFS user_prefs rules work!
body TESTING_USERPREFS /./
score TESTING_USERPREFS 0.01
and see if that shows up in your message headers (assuming you get
the report header that shows which rules hit).

You can add custom test rules to your user_prefs file in your home directory
if you wish.

If that's true, custom ruleset may affect others (never though that)

If I understand correctly, additions to my user_prefs are safe to others (I

paste from .cf files to user_prefs file (is that correct or am I dreaming

In case I want to add 3 rules just paste all that text in there and that's
enough?

That, of course, is up to you. If you've got a shell account that you
can run whatever you want on, do it. It doesn't sound like you're
currently in that position. You could consider getting yourself in that
position with your current provider, or another provider, or colo, or a
VPS, or...
Of course, if you're currently paying for email service / spam filtering
you could provide your service provider with samples of the spam and ask
them to do something about it.

A hosting provider can't make the assumption that all their customers
will play nice (or, for that matter, are competent).
> So any chances for me or I must forget SA?
If all you have access to is your .spamassassin folder, it's not
likely. Please confirm whether or not you have access to your home
directory on the server and can create files and directories there.
Access via FTP will work - a local shell is not required.

Myself, I'd be afraid of a provider who did allow user rules. It's
trivial to write rules that would kill system performance.

A user could easily define a set of rules that would overload the
system.
You have a couple of alternatives:
(1) get a hosted box that *you* control.
I am very pleased with my virtual server at unixshell.
http://www.unixshell.com/
(2) you may be able to set up a personal configuration of SA rather
than (or, more likely, in addition to) running the global one the
hosting provider controls.
Depending on the delivery mechanism (you're in luck if it's procmail)
you could run SA over the messages *again* with the site-config
directory set to a directory under your $HOME, with whatever rules you
want in addition to the default rules.
You might annoy the hosting provider if you do that, though.

To note, one doesn't need to restart spamd when there's changes to the
user_prefs file. His issue is that unless spamd's specifically configured
to allow rules in user_prefs, they're ignored. Turning that on brings
a host of issues, including performance degredation, so it's strongly
encouraged to keep the option set to the default: off.

About: Your rule needs to go in /etc/mail/spamassassin dir
I have nothing in etc/ but a folder with my domain name and inside a folder
with my account name.
But I understood that you can put rules there, with the disadvantage that if
upgrade comes, they will be lost.
About: restarting SA I can't do anything as a final hosting user. Seems like
I need them, to do so...

RE: Made my first rule but is not checking anything? Do I need to

That's what I'd like to see.

You might need to ask the hosting provider to restart the SA daemon so
that your config change is seen.
