downloading of rules.

dear list,

i have a system with SpamAssassin 3.4.0 installed.  I have installed the
rules provided in Downloads link.
http://apache.bytenet.in//spamassassin/source/Mail-SpamAssassin-rules-3.4.0.r1565117.tgz

the system is not connected to internet.  I need to download the rules
(new) from a system connected to internet and transfer it to the system on
which SpamAsssassin is configured.  Please guide.

Why, then, are you scanning for spam on this system? How does the 
potential spam email get to that system in the first place?

Anant,

Download the latest tarball of rules, the asc and the sha1 file. That's 
this for today which I got the # by running sa-update -D --checkonly:

-r-xr--r-- 1 4474 4474 262819 Mar  4 21:44 1663890.tar.gz
-r-xr--r-- 1 4474 4474    836 Mar  4 21:44 1663890.tar.gz.asc
-r-xr--r-- 1 4474 4474     79 Mar  4 21:44 1663890.tar.gz.sha1

Put all the files in the same dir on the box with no internet and run 
sa-update --install  1663890.tar.gz

Regards,
KAM
