Plesk's 3.2.4 version!  Maddening!
So two parts: #1 - I now finally know where they go, what's the best place for
rulesets?  I have the standards, but they're from 2008 and the SA
update's not functioning right

Any more detail on this? They're really have to be *trying* to break sa-update... and there are updates to the stock rulesets that are moderately important.

thanks to Parallel's monkeying with
it in the Plesk OS.  So I'm not concerned with messing with what's
there, I need to know where in 2009 the best rules are located to
snag and import them into our setup.  Apparently it's been since
2004ish, so I'm not sure who's around and who's not beyond this
List still being here!
#2 - Anyone have a clue as to where in RH Fedora Core 8, Plesk
is hiding the stupid conf file?

Again, unless they've really gone off on a tangent (OK, so this *is* Plesk we're talking about... <g>) you should find the "site" config directory at one of:

/etc/mail/spamassassin
/etc/spamassassin
/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin
/usr/local/etc/spamassassin
/usr/local/psa/etc/mail/spamassassin
/usr/local/psa/etc/spamassassin

There should be a mostly-empty local.cf and a few .pre files there.

You can *probably* use "locate v312.pre" to find it, now that I think about it.

The other thing you can do to find out where Plesk has meddled with the SA innards is to run "rpm -qa |grep -i spam" to find out what the package name is (most Plesk bits are available packaged as .rpm, and fortunately installed using the system rpm binary, not some customised hack of *that*, too). Once you have some idea which package name it is, rpm -ql <package> will list the files installed by the package.

The init script is likely in /etc/init.d, and if you're really lucky some of the spamd startup options will have been set in a file in the RH-standard /etc/sysconfig directory.

How Plesk integrates SA into the mail flow is something else, and I'm not planning on trying to extend the license key on one of the legacy Plesk machines here to see for myself...
