updates_spamassassin_org.cf ??

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Gang,

Branching out from the "Spamassassin not working..." thread
regarding sa-update, I have done some experimenting and I'll
report what I found with MailScanner.

I ran sa-update and got new cf files put into 
/var/opt/spamassassin/3.001001/updates_spamassassin_org, with
a file /var/opt/spamassassin/3.001001/updates_spamassassin_org.cf.

Then I ran MS in debug mode and looked for evident that the
files in /var/opt where used.  Nothing.  Then I made a symlink:

cd /etc/mail/spamassassin
ln -s /var/opt/spamassassin/3.001001/updates_spamassassin_org.cf updates_spamassassin_org.cf

and ran MS in debug mode again.  Voila!  The updates got used, eg:

dbg: plugin: fixed relative path: /etc/mail/spamassassin/updates_spamassassin_org/10_misc.cf
dbg: config: using "/etc/mail/spamassassin/updates_spamassassin_org/10_misc.cf" for included file

and so on for all of the other cf files in /var/opt.

Errr, is this the way that info from sa-update should be used?
