Thanks Martin,

The problem is that there is fuzziness in my mind again. Mailscanner (I 
think by way of Julian's SA install.sh) places a script in cron.daily 
called update_spamassassin that calls sa-update. It makes reference 
someplace to review /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner for additions to the 
default. I can't remember where I saw that. So, do I run the example 
from taint.org as a standalone call from my crontab, or do I add 
something somewhere so that the update_spamassassin script incorporates 
the stuff from the taint page, and where and how do I do that?
