==================================
what this seems to tell me is that sa-update is being called every day by cron,
but spamassassin and amavisd-new are not being reloaded in order to utilize the
update.
what brings me to notice this issue is the recent spamassassin bug 6269
(see https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6269)
for spamhaters this bug causes dataloss as legitimate mail had an extra 3
points added to the spam score.
from what i understand, this bug was noticed and rectified on 2010/01/01, but
due to /cron.daily/spamassassin calling /etc/init.d/spamassassin reload instead
of /etc/init.d/amavisd-new force-reload, the sa-update updates were never
picked up by the running amavisd-new daemon.
should i change the code in /cron.daily/spamassassin to call
/etc/init.d/amavisd-new force-reload, or is there a better way to accomplish
this?
sincerely,
proctor

Changes:

.
* Document the fact that auto-whitelist is now disabled by default and that
this may affect upgrades from version <3.3.0 (Closes: #570734)
* Stop ignoring output from sa-compile and instead use its undocumented
"quiet" option. (Closes: #563802)
* Don't ignore output from /etc/init.d/spamassassin when reloading spamd
after sa-update downloads updates (Closes: #565227)
* Run the contents of /etc/spamassassin/sa-update-hooks.d/ using
run-parts following a successful download of new rules via sa-update
in the daily cron script. (Closes: #315961, #567205)
* Fix a problem in debian/rules where manpage generation for sa-awl and
sa-check_spamd happened in the wrong rule.
* Bump standards compliance to 3.8.4 (no changes needed)
