WhiteListSubject Plugin

I am running SpamAssassin under Amavisd-new (Mac OS X Yosemite; OS X Server).

My local.cf file contains

  loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::WhiteListSubject

  header SUBJECT_IN_BLACKLIST eval:check_subject_in_blacklist()
  describe SUBJECT_IN_BLACKLIST Subject header is in user's black-list

  include /usr/local/mail/blacksubjects

The plugin does not appear to be running.

Ideas?

The above lines are already in by default, I don't think having a second
loadplugin in the wrong place makes a difference.

This is ok as long as the file is readable.

If restarting Amavisd doesn't fix the problem, try running a test with
the spamassassin script e.g.

blacklist_subject jdkrifh

echo "Subject: jdkrifh" | spamassassin -D

start with a simple  ascii string. For anything more complicated you'd
need to set "normalize_charset 1" and edit your files in UTF-8.

BTW blacklist_subject is mainly a sort of Fisher-Price SpamAssassin rule
that's aimed at end users who aren't trusted to use regular expressions.

BCP: remove the "loadplugin"  directive from your local.cf and uncomment 
in the relevant v310.pre file

no sure if an include would work, especially in the file is not named .cf

so I'd remove that include line and put "blacksubjects.cf" file in same 
directory as local.cf
( on most systems: /etc/mail/spamassasin )

spamassassin --lint -D plugin
This should show if it's being loaded.

Remeber that you should restart Amavisd-new after making change sto SA's 
config
