The comment on the change is:
reorder; add note about sa-update usage

  '''No.'''  We really have more than enough spam already, so we don't really need you to forward spam to the SpamAssassin users mailing list, submit bugs for missed spam, or send it directly to the developers.
  
+ It's worth noting that there may already be rules to catch this spam. Try running "sa-update".  Also, [http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm RulesEmporium] is a great resource for additional rules and scripts that are not included with SA by default.

- Nevertheless, there are two ways in which you may be able to help.
+ Nevertheless, there are ways in which you may be able to help, if there are no rules yet.
  
  First, if there are existing tests which nearly bring the message over the threshold, then yes, we could do with that data in our rescoring corpus of messages so that the perceptron (program used to generate the scores) will know to bring those scores a little higher. Before every major release, the SpamAssassin developers send out a call for advanced users to submit data for use in the score generation process. If you follow the SpamAssassin users mailing list (see MailingLists), maintain spam and ham corpuses, are familiar with Perl and rsync, and have CPU cycles and some bandwidth to spare, then this may be a way in which you can contribute.  Also, there are similar runs nightly used for rule development which would also benefit from increased participation.
  
  Second, if the mail was entirely missed by SpamAssassin and you have an idea for how it might be detected (in a way that doesn't also catch ham) with a new rule, see ContributingNewRules.

- Third, you may want to install additional rules. [http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm RulesEmporium] is a great resource for additional rules and scripts that are not included with SA by default.
  
  And when you do need to forward or attach spams, be sure to note that we need the original message including all the message headers; without headers, it's very likely to be ignored, as it's almost useless for filter development. Never ever cut-and-paste spams since that will almost always change the spacing and line-breaks of the message.
