oops. now fixed.
OK, try it soonish (it may take a few minutes for the mirrors to
update and the cached DNS txt record to expire).

It uses DNS to detect new updates, doesn't it? So one could use a frequency
as high as the record TTL at very low cost.

"spamassassin --lint -D" will show what rule files are being used. Weekly is
probably a good choice, daily is as frequent as I would suggest at the moment.

There's only one directory per SA version per channel. So yes. :)

OK thanks Theo.. what would be the best way for the to triple verify indeed
it is picking up these new rules?? I'll set this to cron today on a weekly
basic I think.. is that frequent enough??
And I assume as these folders start creating themselv'es with the new update
SA knows enough to look at the lestest set only???

It's a script that comes with 3.1.

Ok. replace "service spamassassin restart" with the appropriate command for
your machine.

Yep. 80_additional.cf is a new file too.

SA knows to look there by itself (see "perldoc spamassassin"), and it's not
reading anything twice. SA uses the local state dir
(/var/lib/spamassassin/...) instead of the default rules dir
(/usr/share/spamassassin).

>>>Rule #1 - Let someone else ask the really stupid question for you first!
Have I been sleeping?? (yea probably have been)
Is sa-update something built in or is it an plug-in??
OK Before you guys get out the whips and chains yes I did some googling:
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RuleUpdates
I am running EXIM 4.52 SA 3.1.7 ClamAV
WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.9.0-S48
Fedora i686 - WHM
I ran sa-update && service spamassassin restart
and was told spamassassin is an unknown service (dur I knew that)
I ran sa-update alone and there was a slight delay with no other commentary
and a fresh command line presented.. I restarted exim with
service exim restart
I then tailed the maillog and all looked well in paradise
BUT.. I see neither directory has updated files:
/usr/share/spamassassin
/etc/mail/spamassassin
Now I ran sa-update -D
and poking more I see it did bring down the latest cf files in
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007/updates_spamassassin_org
I have verified manually that at least one rule set has changed since I last
upgraded on Oct 11th..
7733 Nov 10 22:53 25_uribl.cf
6738 Oct 11 22:35 /usr/share/spamassassin/25_uribl.cf
So now my next question is.. am I missing something here to have these
downloaded rule sets in effect?? The FAQ say I should have to do nothing but
restart SA in my case I think it would have to be:
service exim restart
but somehow I don't think that's right.. I never told SA to look for rules
in this new directory and even if I did then it would be reading the rule
sets twice and causing a huge load issue..
What am I missing in this equation???
thanks..

Rule #1 - Let someone else ask the really stupid question for you first!
Thanks, this was biting me, too and I saw it had been fixed in the
past! tsk, tsk ;-)
re. my own problems: it looks like things have settled down.
