In fact, you do not ever want to edit anything in this directory, it will be obliterated when you upgrade SA. However, all you have to do is dump them into your /etc/mail/spamassassin directory, or whatever "etc" based instead of "share" based variant used with BSD. That said, if you want an auto-updater, look around for RulesDuJour.Someone got a guide on how to do this on freebsd? Many thanks.
There is nothing special required for FreeBSD, the etc dir for user installed software is /usr/local/etc, so the local.cf is in /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin and that is the directory you should point RDJ to.
Oh, and in case you are thinking about it, don't use the --update-dir switch on sa-update and try to be smarter than the SA developers. I did, and it will cause much grief. Just accept that sa-update and RDJ update two different directories and move along. You life will be easier. If you really want SARE rules updated the same as SA rules, then subscribe to a SARE channel.
DAve -- Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos for other non-international holidays, but nothing for Veterans? Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
