Hello list, I'm playing around with sa-compile in an attempt to improve performance, but I have a couple of questions that I can't find answered in the online docs.
1) After compiling, my compiled ruleset is stored in /var/lib/spamassassin/compiled/5.014/3.004001. Do I now need to remove my rules from /etc/mail/spamassassin/ so that they aren't loaded in twice? Running spamassassin -D, I can see my un-compiled rules still being loaded, but perhaps spamassassin does some tricks to skip over these rules if it finds a pre-compiled version? 2) If I do need to remove my uncompiled rules form /etc/mail/spamassassin, what/how much should I be removing? For example, clearly I can't remove v320.pre as this contains the Rule2XSBody loadplugin command. 3) If it's correct to keep my uncompiled rules in /etc/mail/spamassassin, what happens if these rules are modified? Does spamassassin spot the change and invalidate the compiled rules, or will it carry on using the compiled version (until I recompile) ? Cheers, Pete
