>>>Rule #1 - Let someone else ask the really stupid question for you first!
Have I been sleeping?? (yea probably have been) Is sa-update something built in or is it an plug-in?? OK Before you guys get out the whips and chains yes I did some googling: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RuleUpdates I am running EXIM 4.52 SA 3.1.7 ClamAV WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.9.0-S48 Fedora i686 - WHM I ran sa-update && service spamassassin restart and was told spamassassin is an unknown service (dur I knew that) I ran sa-update alone and there was a slight delay with no other commentary and a fresh command line presented.. I restarted exim with service exim restart I then tailed the maillog and all looked well in paradise BUT.. I see neither directory has updated files: /usr/share/spamassassin /etc/mail/spamassassin Now I ran sa-update -D and poking more I see it did bring down the latest cf files in /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007/updates_spamassassin_org I have verified manually that at least one rule set has changed since I last upgraded on Oct 11th.. 7733 Nov 10 22:53 25_uribl.cf 6738 Oct 11 22:35 /usr/share/spamassassin/25_uribl.cf So now my next question is.. am I missing something here to have these downloaded rule sets in effect?? The FAQ say I should have to do nothing but restart SA in my case I think it would have to be: service exim restart but somehow I don't think that's right.. I never told SA to look for rules in this new directory and even if I did then it would be reading the rule sets twice and causing a huge load issue.. What am I missing in this equation??? thanks..
