If you are checking the SpamAssassin updates more than 2x a day,
expect to be blocked in the very near future. We have people
checking literally every minute and we only release rules currently
1x per day. There is no need to check this often!
I use sa-update to update all channels I use. From what I've seen on
"sa-update --debug" the default is to test an dns-record.
( "dig 1.4.3.updates.spamassassin.org. txt" for the main channel )
If the DNS answer indicate the same version no HTTP requests are done.
So it SHOULD not hurt to call sa-update more frequently UNLESS one
have specific scripts that directly connect to the updateservers via
http.
is this assumtion right?
