If you have a fairly modern MS, then you'll have a symbolic link from
/etc/mail/spamassassin/mailscanner.cf to spam.assass.prefs.conf ...
Since this will come after local.cf ... it'll "win". Best is to only
set them in one place, so choose one and stick with it:-).
The name of spam.assassin.prefs.conf isn't quite correct anymore... It
isn't a user preference file anymore... So one shouldn't specify it as
such... SA will find it through the link.
The reason for the shift was mainly because some non-prefs are set in
it... And the added bonus of not needing to specify it anymore (not to
mention making Matt K. happy:-).
