No problem. The idea that I'm trying to start is to take "like" rules
(popcorn and evilrules) and put them in seperate cf files. This way you
simply drop them into your /etc/mail/spamassassin dir and restart spamd.
Nothing else is needed, well.....except for this ridiculalsy silly problem
of text files. You may have to open the file in vi and resave. 

You can have tons of cf files in that dir. Making seperate ones for sake of
testing is great.

But the idea is supposed to go something like this:

Every month grab the latest evilrules.cf and whatever else I got for goodies
from people.
remove the old one (go ahead, it's okay!)
drop the new one into /etc/mail/spamassasin
run "spamassassin -d --lint" to see if you get no errors. If errors, fix the
silly text file :)
(This could be line breaks or silly hidden end of line characters, which I
will solve!)
if that reports nothing at all you are good to go.
run 'ps -ef | grep spamd' and see the pid#. 
then kill -TERM pid#
then 'spamd -d -c -a' or whatever option you are running for whatever
version. 
Sit back and watch the fun. Email the rule writers/devs much praise. 

Should be quick and painless enough for you to still find time for a beer
and a hockey game!
