Rules

Subject: RulesDuJour/deneb.dwf.com: 404 errors

<and the contents of the message>

The following rules had errors:
SARE 70_sare_bayes_poison_nxm.cf Ruleset had an unknown error:
curl exit code: 52
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
000

Other than blowing everything away and starting again Im not sure how to
clear this up.  Can one of you experts give me a clue.

actually, that is the best policy.  RulesDuJour has been supplanted by
sa-update.

Not an expert, but I did create an RPM will all of the pieces so that I
would not have to re-create this every time.  I have a script that runs
from cron once a day that calls sa-update.  If successful, it runs
sa-compile, then reloads amavisd (and flushes postfix, since amavisd is
messy when it reloads...  Probably need to code a "graceful" shutdown
for amavisd at some point.)

To pick up all of the channels, I created a channel file, like so:
[mcdonalddj@sa ~]$ sudo cat /etc/sysconfig/sa-update-channels
updates.spamassassin.org
70_sare_evilnum0.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
bogus-virus-warnings.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_adult.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_random.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_header0.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_genlsubj0.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
99_sare_fraud_post25x.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_html0.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_html1.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_uri0.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_specific.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_obfu0.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_unsub.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_stocks.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net

So that gpg works, I imported the public key from dostech.net and
referenced it in an gpgkeyfile:

[mcdonalddj@sa ~]$ sudo cat /etc/sysconfig/sa-update-keys    
5244EC45
856AA88A

the actual update command is
sa-update --channelfile /etc/sysconfig/sa-update-channels
--gpgkeyfile /etc/sysconfig/sa-update-keys

once set up, this has much less impact than rulesdujour had.
