I'm not sure what the problem is you are attempting to demonstrate...
the update from updates.spamassassin.org contains everything you need
from the default DATADIR.
The issue parallels a discussion I've been having in IRC.
The problem is that I'm not seeing any SPF checks being done, despite the
Plugin being enabled AND the rules/scores being defined in "50_scores.cf".
'felicity' suggested that's because the rules/scores are not being /seen/ --
and, checking with LINT, there's, indeed, no trace of those rules -- or
ANYTHING from the Distribution files being found/read.
Left to my own devices, I'm trying to figure out why not.
Again, I've specified where the Distribution files are -- why are they not
being found/read?
You state, "the update from updates.spamassassin.org contains everything you
need from the default DATADIR."
Checking my setup/install,
cd /usr/local/etc/spamassassin
grep -i spf `grep -rlni spf .` | grep -i score

Everything relevant ONLY seems to be in Distribution/ -- nothing in
Updates/.
Checking where the updates SHOULD be,
ls -d
/usr/local/etc/spamassassin/Updates/3.003000/updates_spamassassin_org
returns,
/usr/local/bin/ls: cannot access
/usr/local/etc/spamassassin/Updates/3.003000/updates_spamassassin_org: No
such file or directory
Well, that's a problem.
looking at output of 'sa-update --debug',

I notice the dns query FAIL.
checking the man page,
"The default channel is
updates.spamassassin.org, which has updated rules since the previous
release."
Net::DNS, which I think is responsble for those queries, /is/ working, as
updates of other channels are working.
Ideas?
