I suspect the latter ;) Read the documentation on the wiki: I've kept it up to date for the 3.2.0 mass-checks, so it's canonical. http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RescoreMassCheck Basically, you have to keep a single "rules/active.list" file for the entire process, and ensure you don't overwrite it with an "svn update" halfway through. (see '4.3 resync to mcsnapshot rules list') --j.
