I would like to use Spamassassin to blacklist some addresses.
My mail reader is mutt and my MTA is exm4. I do not run a DE
and I use fluxbox as my window manager.

What appears to be the official guide says to create the file
~/spamassassin/blackwhite.inf and load the list of
blacklist addreses to it. The approach I used some years ago was
instead to create ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs to hold the
blacklist. None of this has any effect now.

The items in the blacklist have the format *@domain.com

The .spamassassin directory is owned by me and has permission
751 and the user_prefs and blackwhite.inc files in it are also
owned by me and have permission 644 I belong to the
devian-spamd group. I restarted spamd, but I believe doing so
is unncessary.

What am I doing wrong?
