sa-update installation
Hello List,
I have successfully (I hope) installed and run sa-update, and
I see that it installed files in /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007/
In my FreeBSD box, I am used to the rules being in
/usr/local/share/spamassassin and /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin.
Do I just go out for a cold beer and hope that SA will be reading
these rules as well?
What happens when I run sa-update? Does it update the rules files in
/usr/local/share/spamassassin or what?

I think you don't need the lint here, as sa-update internally does
this for each channel it gets updates for (at least this is what
the source tells me ;-) )
Kind regards,
Sven

Hi Bryan,
It's a good idea to use a different time than the one shown so that the
update servers are not overloaded by the whole world banging them all
at once ;)

I was just about to ask what the recommended interval was for running
sa-update was :-)

Oh? I thought you needed to specify within the local.cf file to use
those updated rules? Am I mistaken? Will it automatically use the
"correct" rules from /var/lib/spamassassin? (correct meaning that if
I update to the next version, will it use the latest rules and not get
confused with possible rules left lying around?)

My sa-update script is configured to do this already:
'svc -h /var/service/spamd'
And I have a crontab entry, so it's time for beer ;)

after sa-update runs, restart spamassassin and it will use the new rules
in /var/lib/spamassassin.
I have this as a cron job:
30 3 * * * sa-update && spamassassin --lint && /etc/init.d/spamassassin
restart
