I have a brand new build of FreeBSD 8.0 p#3
Spamassassin installed from ports:
constellation# spamassassin -V
SpamAssassin version 3.2.5
running on Perl version 5.8.9
start over, upgrade your ports tree.
cd /usr/ports
make update
no way of knowing what you have.
SA is 3.3.1
perl is 5.10.(something)

I used the ports update method Micheal mentioned above (on my dev box that
was used to make the FreeBSD build I am currently using)
cd /usr/ports
make update.
then changed to the /usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin directory
cd /usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin
make config (changed nothing)
make
make deinstall
make reinstall
answered Y when asked if I wanted to download the new rules
Then found the new /var/db/spamassassin did exist,
Now I am assuming that whenever sa-update is run, the new rules will be put
in there and that my new site configs will be in
/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin, and that the users overrides in
/home/<domain>/.spamassassin/user_prefs will still work.
Thanks to all the help you all.
I conclude that when I updated FreeBSD from 8.0 release to 8.0 p#3 that thats
when things broke. (ports not updated correctly).
Learn something new every day!
