Is this an FAQ yet? Both are correct. The default rules are installed in /usr/share/spamassassin these are created when you install/update spamassassin. Rules updated by sa-update are placed in /var/lib/spamassassin/(version)/. SA will use the updated rules if they exist. Otherwise, it uses the default rules. Best suggestion: Don't worry about it. It will work fine. -- Bowie
