Ok, I have a better way to ask this...

SA's config's allow for an "include" of another filename (if I read their examples correctly).

What I'd like to do is have a global config for #hits and trusted networks and such... and *add* if possible a user defined white/blacklist.

Is there a token that can be added in the global config file (/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf is the one I this that the system is using) to look for and include (if readable) the user defined additional file?

(Dave will probably answer this in the morning when he sees it. Heheh)

Thanks all - sleepy time for me.
