MS/SA Upgrade Advice

[Martin Hepworth]

Rich

Upgrade MS first, make sure that's working fine - follow the instructions in
the wiki for doing the upgrade..

Then once you are happy with that upgrade SA. Now this is more fun as
there's lots of changes from 2.6x to 3.x. Look in their wiki about bayes and
rules name changed esp. make sure 

spamassassin -p /opt/MailScanner/etc/spam.assassin.prefs.conf -D --lint


runs clean before you start MS again...

nice and slowly, make one change then make sure thigns are OK etc. Don't be
afraid to ask for advice - the IRC channel is normally good for immedidate
issues, but be patient there as we have day jobs and don't respond within 50
milliseconds of the question coming in ;-)
