<DIV></DIV>I agree it would be nice to check the update logs.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>As for adding sare rules to update_spamassassin, according to <A

"<FONT class=Apple-style-span size=3><SPAN class=Apple-style-span
style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">SARE rules aren't being updated</SPAN></FONT><FONT
class=Apple-style-span size=3><SPAN class=Apple-style-span

is </SPAN></FONT>OpenProtect's SpamAssassin sa-update channel at <A

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