Or, it sure seems to be.. I don't know that this is the right place to ask this, but it seems appropriate. I have spamassassin being called as part of my maildrop .mailfilter file, and it seems to completely ignore both the .spamassassin/user_prefs and .spamassassin/user_prefs.cf files, since i'm trying to blacklist an address. but no joy.

I tried the automated --add-addr-to-blacklist= option as well, in case i was putting it in the wrong place, but all that option does is *create* the .spamassassin/user_prefs file, but it doesn't place anything on a blacklist therein.

Is there an option to unset somewhere that is causing spamassassin to ignore my user prefs?

Try the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file. SpamAssassin checks this before anything else.
