When "but" is used as a connective (ie. to join to sentences, with one being a negative addition to the other), it requires a preceeding comma, usefully also denoting the natural pause in speech that should occur at the same point.
However, use of "but" in other contexts will primarily not require commas, eg. when used as a colloquial reference to one's backside.

Punctuation is dictated by the meaning of your sentence, not by the presence of particular words. A comma indicates a brief pause. Say your sentence aloud, and where you find that you naturally pause briefly, you will probably find that a comma is appropriate. Other people may punctuate the same sentence differently. That is not necessarily wrong. A lot depends on the context: whether it is formal, informal, written, spoken, and so on. Here are some examples: 'There was nobody in the house but my mother.' (No comma) 'I like cheese, but my sister can't stand it.' (Comma before 'but') 'I would prefer you to stay at home but, if you do go out, please wear a warm coat.' (Comma after 'but') 'I would prefer you to stay at home, but if you do go out, please wear a warm coat.' (Comma before 'but') (The last two examples convey slightly different shades of meaning.) It's perfectly possible to have a comma both before and after the word 'but' if you think the sense requires it, but you should be wary of having too many commas in one sentence.

A comma before "which" depends on whether it introduces a nonessential clause. If the information following "which" is necessary for the sentence's meaning, no comma is needed. However, if the clause is nonessential, a comma before "which" is appropriate.
