Dear Wiki user,

The following page has been changed by TheoVanDinter:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    What do I need to do with-respect-to sa-update after a SpamAssassin upgrade?:: Whenever you upgrade the version of SpamAssassin that's installed, the directory where the updates are expected to be changes (it's based on the version).  So whenever you upgrade, you will want to run sa-update for all of the channels that you want to have installed.
  
    After upgrading SpamAssassin several times, there are a number of directories .../3.001001, .../3.001002, .../3.001003, etc.  What should I do with them?:: You definitely want to keep the latest version that matches the version of SpamAssassin that you have installed.  However, the older versions can be removed whenever you like.
+ 
+   How often should I run sa-update?:: As often as you like.  It typically depends on what time-frame is comfortable for you, and how quickly channels are going to be publishing updates.  Generally speaking, once a day is a good starting point.
  
    After sa-update was used, the report contact setting becomes @@CONTACT_ADDRESS@@.:: ''This was fixed in 3.1.4.''  This issue was tracked in [http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4862 bug 4862].
