I always use the latest spamassassin from rpmforge: spamassassin-3.2.5-1.el4.rf > If SARE rules are this deprecated, but only known about on the > mailing lists, then the Wiki's should be updated about this and the > rulesdujour tool eliminated from the RPM or at least disabled. > Right? Not really no. Not everyone is using the latest SA and/or sa-update to update their rules. For those people that won't/can't upgrade their SA version, then rulesdujour is still valid for them. My guess is that when those admins eventually do upgrade and then wonder why things don't work just right, they ask in the SARE mailing list and get told to not use rulesdujour but instead use sa-update.
