Instead, I am now checking the exit status of both sa-update and 
sa-compile. If they both succeed, it will delete the logfile. If either 
of them fails, then it will keep the logfile. Should work okay.

I have also moved the settings relevant to update_spamassassin into 
/etc/sysconfig/update_spamassassin, out of /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner. 
So changes to one don't mean you need to change the other every time you 
upgrade.

These changes will be in the next beta release.
