If you are looking for a way determine whether sa-update needs to be
run, you don't need to; sa-update already does this through DNS.

 If you are looking for a way determine whether sa-update needs to be
 run, you don't need to; sa-update already does this through DNS.

   
And more to the point, you can manually look it up if you like.

dig txt 5.2.3.updates.spamassassin.org

or on windows:

nslookup -type=txt 5.2.3.updates.spamassassin.org

This returns: 895075

Since 3.2.5 is now not the current branch of SpamAssassin, it is now the
previous release, this number is not going to change frequently.
Backporting of rules to the previous release happens, but only for
significant problems. Things like RBL shutdowns, major logic bombs like
the 2010 date issue, etc, are likely to be added. Totally new rules are
not likely to be pushed to it. The team tends not to mess with the
previous release too much, because those running it are likely to be
very conservative, otherwise they'd have upgraded to 3.3.0 already.
Since the user base is conservative, the rule pushes are also conservative.

If you want the current rules, those are for the 3.3.x tree, so upgrade
to the 3.3.0.

Thx, I've already a sa-update cron job but I' was wondering whether it works
- b/c the last update was from 22th of January.
