Question about spam.assassin.prefs.conf

[Golden, James]

Sorry,

I should have put that info in there.  I'm not sure what the original
date of the file was, because now I moved it.  I did a compare on my old
one and the rpmnew one.

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root     10963 May 27 15:19
spam.assassin.prefs.conf.rpmnew

In the old file test I found this as a latest edit:

# JKF 12/01/2005 - known troublesome rule

So, after the compare, I then added any settings entry that was missing
(which was about 3 lines) (bayes_path, awl_path, and one other) to the
file.  and then replaced the old one with the rpmnew version.
Everything looks OK.  I was just wondering if I missed a step.  I know I
ran a few scripts to upgrade Mailscanner.conf and another, but I didn't
remember doing it for spam.assassin.prefs.conf file.

I did just upgrade to the 4.54.6-1 version.  I didn't do it via RPM, I
did it via the script from MailScanner (if I remember correctly).

Thanks for the response,

James

As long as I ensure that any settings in the old one are in the new one, can't I replace the old one with the new?  Is there are reason I should/should not do this?
