 Thanks for the tips, I will look into. Nevertheless, sorry for 
 insisting, my point is relevant to another issue. On the same 
 http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/#faq-spam I read:

 "Does SpamAssassin observe settings in its configuration file local.cf?
     SA does observe all settings in its configuration file, but not all 
 of them have effect on the mail being checked ..."

 My questions are:
 - Is amavis SA module supposed to read by default 
 /etc/spamassassin/*.cf files (or /etc/mail/spamassassin/*.cf/)?
 - When the above happen, should I have the following lines in the 
 amavis debug log?
 ...
 debug: config: read file /etc/mail/spamassassin/init.pre
 debug: config: read file /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
 ...
 - If amavis is not doing so, how may I make it happen?


 Thanks for your patience :)
