Another spamassssin oddity

[jpff <jp...@codemist.co.uk>]

To add to the apparent Perl problems I have with deleting non-existent
memory and spamassassin totally stopping all mail delivery, when I
start spamassassin I see the messages

Apr 15 11:03:48 snout spamd[6569]: rules: meta test SARE_SPEC_PROLEO_M2a has dependency 'MIME_QP_LONG_LINE' with a zero score 
Apr 15 11:03:48 snout spamd[6569]: rules: meta test SARE_HEAD_SUBJ_RAND has undefined dependency 'SARE_XMAIL_SUSP2' 
Apr 15 11:03:48 snout spamd[6569]: rules: meta test SARE_HEAD_SUBJ_RAND has undefined dependency 'SARE_HEAD_XAUTH_WARN' 
Apr 15 11:03:49 snout spamd[6569]: spamd: server started on port 783/tcp (running version 3.1.8) 

I update the rules via sa-update but am confused as to where these
missing rules come from

Well the SARE_* rules come from the SARE rulesets over at
rulesemporium.com, which sa-update does NOT update. sa-update, by
default, updates the official ruleset only.

That said, they're only warnings. You might want to go check if some of
your SARE add-ons have been updated, but it's not critical.
