sare rules?

This was probably discussed at some point, but I haven't been getting emails
from the list for some time.
 
The dates I see on all my sare rule sets are in January when I moved to
3.2.4.  My updates_spamassassin_org.cf file is dated June 17.
 
I debugged saupdate and this appears correct.  But recently I am seeing an
increase in spam reaching my end users.
 
Is there something more that I can be doing?  Maybe I need to start updating
from some additional rule sets?

Yes, this indeed is correct. Currently, there are no updates to SARE,
and there haven't been any in quite a while.

Yes, maybe. Hard to tell without any samples...

Start also using JM SOUGHT rules.  Search the archives and google for  
context.

Do you have network tests enabled?

What kinds of spams are getting through?  419s are hard to
catch.
