3.2.4 is a major bug-fix release, with a few minor new features. Summary of
changes:
- bug 5599: allow load distribution of SA nameserver queries across all nameservers listed in resolv.conf, using 'dns_options rotate'. thanks to Pawel Sasin <hannibal /at/ wp-sa.pl>
- bug 5673: 'ALL' header was including spurious extra spaces between header names and values. fix
- bug 5594: several major sa-compile fixes. major increase in overall speed; cache results between runs to further increase speed; and fix a danger of massive memory usage
- bug 5556: fix a variety of sa-compile portability issues, and support for 5.6.x perls
- bug 5514: make 'score set for a non-existent rule' a debug message, instead of a lint warning, since it's a very frequent FAQ
- bug 5493: sa-compile fails to correctly deal with escaped backslashes. fix
- bug 5672: remove DNS_FROM_SECURITYSAGE (DNSBL lookups against securitysage.com) due to unreliability
- bug 5476: update Bonded Sender (now Sender Score Certified) rules, and add a rule for their strictly-confirmed-opt-in-required zone
- bug 5538: remove FORGED_MUA_AOL_FROM and FORGED_AOL_TAGS entirely; they're obsolete, given the current capabilities of AOL mail user agents
- bug 5632: remove all completewhois.com DNSBL lookups, site seems to have disappeared without warning
- bug 5715: allow for more than one sa-update MIRRORED.BY file host in DNS, for redundancy
- bug 5662: DKIM changes: recognize author signature and multiple signatures for whitelisting (with Mail::DKIM 0.29); disable useless "check_dkim_signsome"; new eval rules "check_dkim_valid_author_sig" and "check_dkim_valid" (an alias for a "check_dkim_verified" misnomer); new tags _DKIMIDENTITY_ and _DKIMDOMAIN_; updated terminology; verification speedup with Mail::DKIM 0.30 (or its pre-releases)
- bug 5696: sa-compile: cut regexp base strings at Unicode high codepoints, to avoid corruption of patterns containing UTF-8
- bug 5637: bayes_file_mode is handled incorrectly when creating bayes.mutex, resulting in incorrect permissions on that file; fix by Mihaly Barasz
- bug 5612: DB_File version 4.2.x has a bug that loops infinitely if files named '__db.{filename}' are present; work around. thanks to J. Nick Koston for the report and fix
- bug 5606: too-early init_learner() call causes root's user prefs file to be read when spamd is started; this is inappropriate. fix
- bug 4179: if allow_user_rules is 1, user rules are not unique to each user; one user's user rules can appear in later scans for other users that are run using the same spamd process. fix
- bug 5680: ALL_TRUSTED can fire if a trusted MSA or webmail system receives the message from an untrusted X-Originating-IP: header. fix
- bug 5626: in the 'spamassassin' script, install a signal handler for SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGPIPE to ensure that temporary files are removed
- bug 5557: some temporary files are left not cleaned up on Windows; fix
- bug 5661: speed up Bayes SQL queries by allowing the use of indexes when expiring
- bug 5611: support 'spamd --nouser-config -u username', which setuids to 'username' but does not read user_prefs files from anywhere
- bug 5665: spamd may fail to notice that a child has completed exiting, and keeps in the child list in state 'K', eventually filling up the child list with 'ghost' children. fix
- bug 5735: spamc should allow retry_sleep 0
- bug 5728: spamd: require -u with --sql-config or --ldap-config
- bug 5682: remove FH_HOST_ALMOST_IP, FH_HOST_EQ_D_D_D_D, due to false positives and redundancy with RDNS_DYNAMIC; remove FH_HOST_EQ_D_D_D_DB due to no hits
- bug 5681: look up IP addresses found in 'X-Yahoo-Post-IP' and 'X-SenderIP' headers, too, thanks to Martin Blapp
- Bug 5589: Refined async events handling and DNS lookup completions
- bug 5586: RDNS_NONE has false positives if the MTA doesn't put the hostname in the Received header, like Communigate Pro. add an exception for this
- bug 5748: fix locale problem with use of external sort in sa-compile

I just updated to 2.3.4 ... but when I tried to run sa-compile, I got
the following error ...

FH_HOST_EQ_D_D_D_D is still referenced by FM_DDDD_TIMES_2 and FM_SEX_HOSTDDDD in
72_active.cf. I'm guessing this was an oversight?

Well, scan times went DOWN a LOT!!! According to Amavis-Logwatch:
===================================================================================================================
Timing Percentiles % Time Total (s) 0% 5%
25% 50% 75% 95% 100%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SA check 92.66% 10750.540 0.040 0.068
3.009 4.130 5.934 9.610 32.828
SMTP DATA 1.74% 202.074 0.003 0.037
0.038 0.077 0.078 0.082 1.171
fwd-end-chkpnt 1.41% 163.290 0.006 0.009
0.012 0.020 0.052 0.168 6.594
...
===================================================================================================================
Scan Time: Actual 100.00% 11601.872 0.142 0.207
0.387 3.776 5.606 9.219 33.014
Scan Time: Hypothetical 100.00% 11602.398 0.390 0.470
3.446 4.689 6.644 10.728 52.716
Timing for 75% used to be around 11-15 seconds. So it was a major
improvement what the Devel Team has done.
Thanks a lot!

Not so great here with MimeDefang/Sendmail. Imageinfo plugin seemed to
break SA clean lint, so had to remove it. Overall seems to be running ok
in test, but still seeing lots of this in maillog:
mimedefang-multiplexor[14449]: Slave 1 stderr: config: path
"/root/.spamassassin" is inaccessible: Permission denied
(wth? - sa home is same = /etc/mail/spamassassin ?)
Any ideas?

Enable the RPMForge repository to get the latest SA. I just did a
check-update and it's got 3.2.4 available.
RPMForge also carries a number of related packages, such as MIMEDefang and
ClamAV.
Here's how to add the repository to your yum configuration:
