Subject: 3.0.2 rules
Hi
I am running an old version on debian.
server:/usr/doc/spamassassin# spamassassin -V
SpamAssassin version 3.0.2
running on Perl version 5.6.1
server:/usr/doc/spamassassin#
I havn't done an apt-get upgrade for ages, and as such, when i did, the
spamasasin failed to upgrade for some conflict, etc.. I'm not strong
enough in skill to figure it out, and have started a rebuild of a newer
machine anyway.
however untill I get this new machine set up, and move the compant over to
the new one, I realy need to get the rules updated to the newest I can
under the 3.0.2 version.
I have looked over the wiki, and belive I can't use sa-update, and found a
page about updateing the rules for 3.1.0 - but its a little to technical
for me, and I am missing some things it seems to assume...
So.. Can any one help me. I think the key parts I am missing are where
do I get a set of rules that will work with 3.0.2 that are the most recent
rules possible...
and then, where do I put them!!
Thanks in advance

It sounds like your upgrade did NOT work due to some conflict, so you must
still be using the old 3.0.2 version?? What distribution of Debian are you
using? I upgraded 3.0.x to 3.1.x via backports.org on my Debian stable
installation.
You have the default rules in the main application, and then you have any
SARE rules you might want in your /etc/mail/spamassassin or
/etc/spamassassin directory just like with the earlier versions.
If SA 3.1.0 didn't install properly, it's no surprise that you can't run
sa-update. Can you try again and be specific about what OS and what verion
of SA you have successfully installed? And any error messages when trying
to run sa-update (run with the -D option) if you have 3.1.x installed? -
