I agree it would be nice to check the update logs. 

As for adding sare rules to update_spamassassin, according to
http://www.rulesemporium.com/  "SARE rules aren't being updated". A
better alternative is OpenProtect's SpamAssassin sa-update channel at
http://saupdates.openprotect.com. 

I would also suggest using Sought rules, you can find more info at
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SoughtRules. Another good idea is
joining the spamassassin mailing list. I have picked up a lot of good
tips there.

Mike

	I have a suggestion to /usr/sbin/update_spamassassin - consider
commenting out line 32 (rm -f $LOGFILE) to allow viewing of the
/tmp/update_spamassassin.MMDD file.  It's useful to review the file for
errors.

	For the install.sh script, please consider adding code to let
the user know of all rpmnew files.  We have a custom
/etc/sysconfig/MailScanner file where we list the spam channels we get
updates from:

	29,30c29 
	< #SAUPDATEARGS="" 
	< SAUPDATEARGS="-D --gpgkeyfile
/etc/mail/spamassassin/sare-sa-update-gpgkeys.txt --channelfile
/etc/mail/spamassassin/sare-sa-update-channels.txt"

	There were a lot of changes in /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner -
WORKDIR, INQDIR,  QUARDIR, RUNAS...

	Could there be a custom file for the SAUPDATEARGS variable so we
didn't have to modify the delivered /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner file?

	Thanks, 
	Donald
