Right. https://git.centos.org/blob/rpms!spamassassin/6c4364e0c267abccbafcaaa3ed79b2fe4d8e54b2/SPECS!spamassassin.spec;jsessionid=mc5igseasal0axkra6qhd4it Line 229: # Default rules from separate tarball cd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/spamassassin/ tar xfvz %{SOURCE1} sed -i -e 's|\@\@VERSION\@\@|%{saversion}|' *.cf > Are you saying that running sa-update without network access *deletes* > existing rules? No. If the first time sa-update runs there's no network access, rules are never downloaded. "Never", because the centos cron job runs sa-update only if spamd or amavisd are running (and they stop when there are no rules). Please, bear with me not being able to report the problem clearly. -- Ciao, Filippo
