The permissions should be 700 (i.e. only readable by the owner). The owner should probably be root (assuming that you will be running sa-update as root). # chown -R root sa-update-keys # chmod 700 sa-update-keys >> The import operation is not writing rules and updates, it is writing key >> information.

You will find the rule files themselves under the updates_spamassassin_org directory. Make sure you restart spamd to reload the rules after you run sa-update. -- Bowie
