Also, you don't have to play games with the directories. sa-update will
not touch the local or system rules directories. It will create its own
directory (/var/lib/spamassassin/{VERSION} by default). If you don't
like what it does, just remove this directory and you're back to normal.
And you don't have to mess with any settings to make SA use the new
rules either. All you need to do is run sa-update (no arguments needed)
and restart spamd.
