Upgraded from 3.1.7 to 3.1.8... Not as good filtering?

Anyone know why when I upgraded from 3.1.7 to 3.1.8 my filtering performance
would go down? A lot more spam seems to be getting through since I updated
yesterday. Maybe it's just a lucky coincedence... But I'm wondering if there
is some configration tweak I did before that got overwritten...

Any ideas?

Please don`t top post.

Which OS you are using? On Debian:

apt-cache search gpg

Thanks that did it... :-) sa-update works great now. 

How often are rulesets updated? Should I set sa-update to run on cron daily?

What is gpg and where do I get it? I couldn't find any reference to it on

No, all I did is download the package and build/install it.

I tried running sa-update just now and got this:

error: gpg required but not found!

I have no idea what this means.

If you use sa-update, did you run it after updating?
