Why are you so concerned about updates for the sake of updates?
Generally we only feel compelled to write rules and release them when
there's a need for them (remember, we're all volunteers). Personally,
I've been receiving very, very little spam that isn't caught by SA.
If you'd like to use RDJ go for it. The SARE rules (which are available
via sa-update anyway, and from what I've heard only reliably via
sa-update) haven't been updated much in the last 6 months either:

If you like, since you seem to be preoccupied with the raw number of
updates, you can compare that the number of updates released by the SA
project in the last 6 months:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] asf-sa-updates]$ find . -type f -mtime -180 -name "*.gz"
-perm 444 -exec ls -l {} \; | cut -d' ' -f7-

However reading this thread has scared me further.
(Shall I chuck Santa Claus (rms) and the Penguin (linus) and install
"WIN2000" and enjoy "Norton Daily Updates"?)
That might not be a bad idea.
