After a couple of years without being greatly troubled by spam (a few a
week), about a fortnight ago I started seeing 10-20 a day. They have a
similar look and tone but I can't see any obvious ways to get them with
rules.
My trouble is that while all has been well, I've forgotten how SA works!
I want to start by checking that my installation of SA is working as
well as possible. I started by getting my host to upgrade it to 3.3.2.
Next, I want to check that sa-update is working and that my rules are
up-to-date. I can see that I have the entries on the root crontab:
40 * * * * sa-update --gpgkey 6C6191E3 --channel
sought.rules.yerp.org
43 2 * * * sa-update --gpgkey 856AA88A --channel
90_2tld.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net --channel updates.spamassassin.org
How can I check what rules and / or rulesets are actually being used by SA?
Are there any other generic rules that it's recommended that I should
subscribe to?
Also, I'm a bit confused about config files. I seem to have two, one at
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and one at
/usr/share/spamassassin/local.cf . What's the difference between the two
and which one takes precedence?
Thanks in anticipation!
