I asked - please see http://bugzilla.atrpms.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1222
Axel renamed sa-update to sa_update, but he noted that Fedora 7 has
/etc/cron.d/sa-update which can be moved to /etc/cron.daily in the future.
As all other MailScanner cron scripts (which update something) are named
update* (update_phishing_sites, update_virus_scanners), I'd suggest
to rename sa-update to update_sa or update_SA or update_spamassassin.
Then it will not clash with something else.

And btw, sa-update has a bit incorrect comment at the top:
# Change the next '1' to '0' to enable this regular update.
# It is disabled by default as it causes problems on many systems.

it should be
# Change the next 'yes' to 'no' to enable this regular update.
# It is disabled by default as it causes problems on many systems.

I like ATrpms package as it uses saupdates.openprotect.com channel
for SA updates, which I use too.
