when I run sa-update it puts new copies of the tests in /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001005/updates_spamassassin_org which I understand from the docs is the correct location. However, the default tests remain in /usr/share/spamassassin/ and I believe they are still being used. How is this supposed to work? Am I supposed to manually move them into /usr/share? I do not see any reference to the updated tests in the cf files anywhere.

SA reads the .cf and .pre files from the /var/lib/spamassassin/<version> directory. You should notice there is a updates_spamassassin.cf and a .pre within that directory. If you look within the .cf file, it will list all rules within the updates_spamassassin.org directory. That is how SA loads those rules up. It is my guess those rules take priority over the default set that is installed in /usr/share or /usr/local/share. Someone please correct me if I am wrong on this assumption.

You should not need to move the rules within /var/lib/spamassassin/<version> directory to any other location.
