Could someone - anyone - please direct me to someplace that I can read up on my questions... They remain un-answered and the man page simply is a terse usage explanation.

Pete Russell mumbled through a coffee cup: His question may have been pretty basic, born of laziness. But when you respond with man sa-update or RTFM, then you end up with a mailing list archive full of useless info, lowering its value as a useful resource. Ignore or respond with something useful. (In my opinion) Pete, Syntax, among other things, is very important. So sending man page references can be extremely helpful.

RulesDuJour should probably be considered a way to supplement SA's rules with those built by the SARE ninjas and others. The sa-update channel is the remote location of the updated SA rules that sa-update fetches. Clear?

I use rulesdejur is this a replacement for that or is it specificly to update the SA rules so we don't have to update the whole package all the time. The man does not answer these questions. I'm just trying to understand what it is all about. The first thing listed in the FAQ [1], linked to from the SpamAssassin home page [2] is RunningSaUpdate [3]. This page explains that SA update is functional for SA 3.1.1+ and tells you briefly what you need to do to use sa-update. For more detail, the RunningSaUpdate wiki page links to RuleUpdates [4] tells you everything you ever wanted to know about sa-update (like don't screw around with --updatedir), or links to more info about specific topics like what SARE channels [5] are available. The SareChannels wiki page even included a link to my quick and concise how-to [6] on updating SARE rules via the SARE channels I provide. Normally I recommend the individual channels I provide over the bundle that Openprotect provides [7] for a number of reasons [8], but it looks like they've at least fixed the issue of not supporting all currently released versions of SpamAssassin (at least in DNS), so their channel may be a viable option for you. The choice, of course, is yours.
