mysql userpref not fetching whitelist_from

[Michael Thomas <mi...@bedarra.com>]

  Hi,

  I have setup the mysql userprefs and it is working with one exception, 
From: addresses listed as being whitelisted in mysql are not triggering 
the SA whitelist scores. Other values like required_hits are being 
properly returned, so SA is able to connect and query mysql. I do not 
have the option of enabling query logging on the mysql side of things.

Spamd is being invoked as follows:

running as root, spamd -D -p 9999 -x -q -u mike -C /home/mike/samysql/spamd

spamc is being run as user mike


A clue perhaps is that for some reason the default config file 
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf is being read despite the use of -C. (I 
know this since it has custom rules not present in the config I am using 
to test the mysql userprefs).


Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks.
