Spamassassin .user_prefs file keeps getting overwritten

    I've searched everywhere on this forum but can't find an answer to this.

    If a user adds some tests (for example, "score SUBJECT_DRUG_GAP_C 5.0") to their .user_prefs file in their home directory (/var/www/web1/user/nameofuser/.user_prefs), the next time a change is made to that user's ISPConfig email settings through the control panel, those custom settings are overwritten with the default template.

    What can I do to stop this overwriting from happening? Should these custom settings be put somewhere else?

    I'm completely out of ideas here - any help you could give would be much appreciated!

    The .user_prefs shall not be edited manually in a ispconfig installation.

    So then...

    I guess this begs the question, where should these settings be stored?

    If globally, where is the correct place to put additional "score" tests?

    I found it

    OK, I did some more searching and my last question has been answered before. But, for those who need the same info:

    To specify additional tests in Spamassassin to be added to every mail user's spamassassin profile (you cannot make settings per-user, only globally), edit the file:

    /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/user_prefs.master

    I tried this and it has worked like a charm!
