Yes, I'm running it as a cronjob with sa-update && service spamassassin restart. It worked the first time it ran and it must have worked today as the "updates.spamassassinorg.cf file is time stamped today at 6:11am as well as all the files in /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001004. Thats assuming there was an update since yesterday, however, looking at my syslog it appears as though spamassassin did not restart. -- Chris 17:37:47 up 4 days, 23:06, 1 user, load average: 0.22, 0.20, 0.19 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
