Where did those default rules come from? SA *does not ship* with rules
in the install set.

$ rpm -qf /usr/share/spamassassin/50_scores.cf
spamassassin-3.4.1-8.el6.x86_64

(Note: a packager may add a static rules snapshot to the standard SA
install set; this might have been done by whoever packaged up the RPM.)

Right.

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).

Ah, ok, that sounds like the problem to me: the RH/Centos sa-update cron
job should not depend on whether or not spamd/amavisd are currently
running.

I don't think this is a problem in base SA, it sounds more like a problem
in the packaging addon code provided by RH/Centos.

Agreed. :P That's a failed installation/logic issue.
