OK - I've found an answer to my own question at https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6269#c41 - "The rules in /usr/share/spamassassin are not consulted if a directory /var/lib/spamassassin/3.x exists. The sa-update only updates the latter". One other question I have which is more about this mailing list - is the list actually still active? It seems to have extremely low traffic for a product like spamassassin. And I've also found it can be quite difficult to get replies to questions. It makes me wonder whether I'm actually posting to the right place! Is this the official spamassassin mailing list?
