MailScanner 4.50.15 not picking up new rules from sa-update

Martin,
Your MailScanner.conf Advanced SpamAssassin Settings looks the same as
mine.
No option for the SA 3.1.1 LOCAL_STATE_DIR, which should have a default
of '/var/lib'.
Adding options to MailScanner.conf alone isn't going to work, since they
also need to be read and passed on to SpamAssassin in SA.pm.
I reported this to the list, since I think Julian has to add it to the
next version of MailScanner.
Adri.
