sa-update exclude some rulesets

[Rolf <ro...@ses.tas.gov.au>]

Hello

Using sa-update successfully. I'd like however to be able to exclude  
some of the rules it retrieves.  Is there a configurable way to do  
this?  I suppose after it runs I could manually remove the fie of the  
ruleset in question, but if the programme takes an option somehow,  
that would be better.

thanks

rolf.

There's no way to do this from the receiver side.  You can ask the
people publishing the channel to split up files into multiple channels,
but otherwise you get what they give you.

In your local.cf, put

Just out of curiosity... what channel?

If it's the updates.spamassassin.org channel, what rulesets don't you 
want to use?

If it's the openprotect channel, there's other channels that provide the 
SARE rules as a single ruleset per channel, which IMO is the only 
sensible way to do it for the SARE rules.
