How does sa-update know if to update or not without going over the network?
channel: attempting channel updates.spamassassin.org channel: update directory /home/jidanni/var/spamassassin/3.002003/updates_spamassassin_org channel: channel cf file /home/jidanni/var/spamassassin/3.002003/updates_spamassassin_org.cf channel: channel pre file /home/jidanni/var/spamassassin/3.002003/updates_spamassassin_org.pre channel: metadata version = 556472 dns: 3.2.3.updates.spamassassin.org => 556472, parsed as 556472 channel: current version is 556472, new version is 556472, skipping channel diag: updates complete, exiting with code 1 # host updates.spamassassin.org updates.spamassassin.org A record currently not present # tcpflow -i ppp0 & sa-update shows no traffic. I see, maybe it detected that the last time I ran sa-update was less than 24 hours ago and so didn't even try? But http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RuleUpdates says "How often should I run sa-update? As often as you like." P.S., I suppose one must be subscribed to this list to post. But then how can I adjust my subscription so that I don't get mail, as I read this via Gmane? No I don't want to get a Nabble account.
