rulesdujour and old copies of rule files
Hi,
I've noticed there is a buildup of old rules in my
/etc/mail/spamassassin/RulesDuJour directory like this
109543 May 10 19:07 bogus-virus-warnings.cf
92609 Aug 10 2004 bogus-virus-warnings.cf.20040819-0402
93896 Aug 19 2004 bogus-virus-warnings.cf.20040823-0423
94241 Aug 23 2004 bogus-virus-warnings.cf.20040909-0403
94292 Sep 9 2004 bogus-virus-warnings.cf.20041101-0453
100387 Oct 30 2004 bogus-virus-warnings.cf.20041103-0434
100389 Nov 2 2004 bogus-virus-warnings.cf.20041109-0406
100721 Nov 8 2004 bogus-virus-warnings.cf.20041217-0418
103643 Dec 16 08:23 bogus-virus-warnings.cf.20041218-0453
103635 Dec 17 10:44 bogus-virus-warnings.cf.20050103-0436
104973 Jan 2 05:22 bogus-virus-warnings.cf.20050114-0501
105986 Jan 13 18:43 bogus-virus-warnings.cf.20050520-0903
Since it seems to be just a history of the script changes can I delete
all these except for the first file?
Also, does spam assassin ONLY look in the /etc/mail/spamassassin folder
and no deeper or does it recurse into all subdirectories in there as well?

Yes, you may delete everything in that directory (even the first file,
if you feel like it).

Correct, SA only reads /etc/mail/spamassassin/*.cf and does not recurse.
