Yes, the script first downloads on one place, sees if there are no problems
(running spamassassin --lint), then copies them in place.

Sorry, I don't use that method, as I said before, I use RDJ.

You don't want all the rules, that would make SA very slow, some suggestions are
on the SA list but it really depends on the languages expected, what seems
effective, and so on.  I just started with the minimum recommended (I think it
was recommended inside the rules_du_jour script, but lately it doesn't have a
good recommendation).

It's --channelfile .
