What happens to a rule file when removed from sa-update channels

[Jari Fredriksson <ja...@iki.fi>]

"90_2tld.cf has been replaced by the official rule file 20_aux_tlds.cf."

I have this in my channels.txt that I use with sa-update.

Is it enough to remove the channel, and the rule file disappears on next
sa-update, or does the old remnant keep on ghosting on the system forever?

You will stop at nothing to reach your objective, but only because your
brakes are defective.

To remove the rule, you need to remove the channel from sa-update and
then go to /var/lib/spamassassin/3.003001/ and remove the .cf file and
directory relating to the ruleset.

Also, make sure you restart spamd or it will continue with the old rules
until the next sa-update causes it to reload.
