What about the stuff in /etc/mail/spamassassin? sa-update does not affect your SITE_RULES_DIR (in your case /etc/mail/spamassassin) so everything there is still used. > With those versions, what exactly do I need to edit to ensure sa-updated > things are being used? You probably don't need to edit anything if you are using the latest version of spamassassin - it should Just Work. If using older versions, the change I noted above is in the amavisd executable itself (sorry I did not mention that). > And where do I stick other rules like those from SARE if I want to use them > now? > Thanks, > Scott Let's assume your DEFAULT_RULES_DIR is /usr/share/spamassassin (where your standard spamassassin rules are kept). When spamassassin finds new rules downloaded via sa-update (/var/lib/spamassassin/...) it no longer uses the rules in the DEFAULT_RULES_DIR so you don't want to place SARE rules there. You likely want to keep them in the SITE_RULES_DIR where you probably have them now (/etc/mail/spamassassin). It's pretty simple, when SA finds the sa-update rules, it uses them instead of the standard rules. The files in /etc/mail/spamassassin are not affected. I quote: "Once the /var/lib/spamassassin/<spamassassin version> directory exists, spamassassin expects to find all rules underneath that directory" but SA will still read rules from your /etc/mail/spamassassin dir. You can also use sa-update to dowload SARE rules: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=spamassassin-users&m=115545719618240 There is also OpenProtect that packages the safest SARE rules: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=spamassassin-users&m=115637139728022 If you do, then of course you would want to remove existing SARE rules from /etc/mail/spamassassin (or subdirectory thereof).
