spam.assassin.prefs.conf ruleset

[Mariano Absatz]

Hi,

one of the setups I have is an old MS 4.23-11 with SpamAssassin 2.63.

It works quite nice, but I had a request from a group of people to use a
special set of SA scores with some (only some) of the scores changed from the
default 50_scores.cf.

That seemed like a fit situation for rulesets, so I copied my
spam.assasssin.prefs.conf to spam.assassin.prefs-other.conf and made a simple
ruleset named spam.assassin.prefs.rules that says:

To: someone at example.com      spam.assassin.prefs-other.conf
To: anotherone at example.com   spam.assassin.prefs-other.conf
FromOrTo: default            spam.assassin.prefs.rules

However, as soon as I restarted MailScanner I got:
May  3 15:54:03 alerce1-or MailScanner-MX[2316]: Value of
spamassassinprefsfile cannot be a ruleset, only a simple value

:-(

At first I thought that maybe upgrading to a newer MailScanner might solve
this... but, as I write this, I fear not, since it probably has to do with
the way SpamAssassin is initialized from within MailScanner.

So,

1) Is this possible with the latest MailScanner?

2) if the answer to 1) is "no"... does anyone have a nice idea of how to
implement differentiated SA scores?

TIA.
