True. I usually just use the following from a cron job (feel free to adjust
for your situation)
 sa-update --allowplugins --nogpg --channel saupdates.openprotect.com--channel
updates.spamassassin.org -D
(followed by sa-compile)

I, for one, use *some* at the MTA - but some people don't like to do that
because of false positives. I don't use any at the MailScanner level.
