Under mailscanner SA always is run as a single user, so there's only one
single configuration for SA when run under mailscaner. There are no
per-user configfiles at all, so there are no equivalents to the
'<username>.prefs' files of your old system.

Under mailscanner SA loads configfiles as follows:
It loads your /usr/share/spamassassin/*.cf files normally
It loads your local.cf normally.
The user_prefs file is replaced with spam.assasssin.prefs.conf.


All bayes and AWL (if you use the awl) state data is stored in the
"SpamAssassin User State Dir", instead of in ~/.spamassassin/.

However there is only ONE user, no matter who the email is sent to, all
email processed against a single bayes database, a single AWL database, and
a single prefs file.
