On first time use I got:

 error: can't verify SHA1 signature
channel: SHA1 verification failed, channel failed

but now it works. But rules get actually placed in a subdirectory of the 
specified path. They won't be used there, won't they? Also, shouldn't it 
replace the original files in /usr/share/spamassassin instead of going to 
/etc/mail/spamassassin/updates_spamassassin_org by default? It's also not 
clear at all, if any of the rules changed, (unless I do a diff) it seems to 
have downloaded the whole bunch.
