Update default settings?
We are a webhost (using WHM) and each time a new account is created,
required_hits is set to 5 and SpamAssassin is turned off. How can I change
it so SpamAssassin is set on by default and required_hits to 10?
Also, how can I update every account's required_hits to 10?

We have WHM 11.1.0 running.
Under 'Service Configuration' there is 'Exim Configuration Editor'. In
there is an option under 'Mail' to turn on SA for all accounts. That
should turn SA on globally for all accounts.

I only see two SpamAssassin options there:
SpamAssassin Spam Filter
SpamAssassin Spam Box delivery for messages marked as spam (user
configurable)
Both of those are already on, but there are still accounts that have
SpamAssassin off (and I want to turn it on for everyone at once)

Ahh, that's a Cpanel thing..
Disclaimer: I know nothing about cpanel at all.
However is it the one under "server configuration" "Tweak settings"?
If so, this manual page implies that's a global option, not a
per-account one.

Well in WHM (WebHost Manager), there is a button to enable SpamAssassin.

Define "enable SpamAssassin"...
ie: I have no ideas what tool your using to call SpamAssassin, so how
you enable it is completely unknown to me, as that's a function of that
tool, not SA.. Are you using a call in a procmailrc? a milter?
qmail-scanner? exiscan? mailscanner?

I see, thanks. I had actually already done that, but didn't know it would
change all calls.
Now if an account has SpamAssassin off, will it still be active because
local.cf is being used? Or do I have to manually enable SpamAssassin on each
account?

You really don't want to change the default, you want to make a
site-wide change, see below. Changing the defaults would result in you
needing to re-do the change every time you upgrade SA, and possibly
every time you run sa-update.

Add required_hits 10 to your local.cf. (or any other *.cf file in your
site rules directory). This will affect any call to SA on the entire system.
By default the site rules directory is /etc/mail/spamassassin. (note: it
is NOT /usr/share/spamassassin or /var/lib/spamassassin.. those are
various forms of the default rules directory).
You can check for sure by running "spamassassin --lint -D" and look for
a debug line like this one, which will be sorta near the top:
dbg: config: using "/etc/mail/spamassassin" for site rules dir
