The rules du jour was missing because you never added it and as it was the 
old method of getting some updated third-party rules that's perfectly okay. 
But you must have added some wrong stuff either to MailScanner.conf or to a 
ruleset file to get that error message, incorrect rules in 
spamassassin.prefs.conf wouldn't throw that.

I disagree. Both MailScanner and SA are documented quite good. But 
administering a mail/mail scanning server is a complex task, so there's no 
simple step-by-step tutorial available as each setup is slightly different.
As for extra rules I just removed most extra rules from my setups as they are 
catching too few and are not worth it anymore. Especially the SARE rules are 
out-dated.

So, after removal of all changes, does your MS work basically now?

I'll mail you.
