Yes you're right, I haven't looked at this for some years but I did have your update_spamassassin script running (together with the sa-update.cron script which comes with the SA RPM).

So yes, I was running it twice from two RPM packages and didn't realise ;)

I've cleaned that setup up now so it's only run once a night from all the mail servers.

Thanks.

Michael.
