RE: [gentoo-server] configure spamassassin

You can disable the user-specific stuff with

allow_user_rules 0

but that rule is disabled by default for security reasons or with the -x
commandline-flag (
        -x, --nouser-config                Disable user config files
). I'm using spamassassin with exim without any problems
(exim+exiscan+SAexim). You should verify your /etc/conf.d/spamd if that
seems ok, what commandline-args are passed to your running spamd and
maybe use debugging (-D). Also verify your logs of course. Btw you
should reboot your box 'cause of such issues ;)
