I been trying to "optimize" SA on my system and decided to look at
the rules I have that SA uses. Im using qmail with SA 3.1 on Fedora
Core 2. I started SA in debug mode and noticed a bunch of rules
running in another folder on top of what I have in my up to date
rules folder. The rules in this other folder are in
/usr/share/spamassassin. Should I delete all of these rules or do
they need to be there?

These are the built-in SA rules. Your spam detection rate will drop
through the floor if you delete them! :)
But it WOULD optimize SA no end. {^_-}
Running a daemonized SA, say spamd, is a worthwhile optimization. And
with no rules to scan SA might not even find anything to do and be VERY
quick. At least it'd be running on its internal defaults which are
pretty basic. And it'd give everything it did tag a score of 1. It might
be amusing to see how bad you can make SA performance if you have that
kind of a turn of mind. (If you do you must be a person who compares
'IX and Windows professionally and always tries to justify picking
Windows.)
