So, when I used sa-update to grab additional rule sets, I could tell
they were being used by scanning my mail logs for references to them.
Yup, they're hitting.
Now, I have sa-compile implemented. I understand that spamassassin
automatically sees alternate rules and uses them rather than the base
distribution, and that it also should automatically see that there is a
compiled directory and so use it. But how do I really tell?
Part of my reason for asking is just my skeptical tendencies, where I
have to confirm things to be satisfied. But, also, when I first ran
sa-compile, I ran it as root. Thus root owned the compile directories,
and with the strict umask we have (077) no one else could see the
directories. Therefore, spamassassin could not have been using them. But
there was no complaint. So, I've fixed that, and the compiled stuff is
all owned by the user that runs spamassassin. But there was no complaint
before, and no indication after.
So, how does one confirm?
I'm running 3.2.4 out of mimedefang 2.54 with Sendmail 8.14.2 on Solaris
9 SPARC. My server is heavily used and I routinely see very high load
levels.
TIA
