I have used the rules_du_jour file, modified by Gerry Doris
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0401&L=mailscanner&P=R50073&I=-1
and yes, SA_DIR refers to the /etc/mail/spamassassin directory

Yes, from my MailScanner.conf:
SpamAssassin Site Rules Dir = /etc/mail/spamassassin
And  I think it works (after i have copied the rules from the
rules_du_jour dir):
X-MailScanner-SpamCheck: spam,
SpamAssassin(Wertung=34.59, benoetigt 3, J_CHICKENPOX_110 0.60,TW_CN
0.08, TW_GB 0.08, TW_GD 0.08, TW_IK 0.08(...)

mmh, spamassassin --lint works from the command line.

I wrote it was *the first run*, so i haven't any rules like bigevil,
tripwire etc. before the run. I think, the script will do an update
the next run, if a rule has changed(?), because i have copied the rules
from the rules_do_jour directory to the parent directory so the
script can compare  them(?)

I get the output for all rules:
Old rule.cf already existed in
/etc/mail/spamassassin/RulesDuJour... Retrieving file from
http://www.somehost/rule.cf...
rule.cf was up to date (skipped downloading of
http://www.somehost/rule.cf)...

No files updated; No restart required.

And sorry for the OT posting, but i saw in the MS-ML archive a lot of
postings about custom SA rules and the rules_du_jour script so i thought
it is OK to ask here on the list.
Nevertheless, thx for all responses :)
