It is quite possible that using this variable over-rides the local site 
rules dir normally processed by SpamAssassin. If this is the case, I 
need to change the documentation for this setting to include a warning 
about this behaviour.

Matt (Kettler) ---- Can you confirm this for me please? (as my resident 
SA guru :-)

Thanks!
Jules.
