This is what happens if you don't pass updatedir (updates go into
/var/lib/spamassassin/<version>). So I think your statement is incorrect
(about using updatedir).

As above, this is what you get if you use updatedir.

I don't understand why you're using updatedir. By aiming at a different
directory than the default, SpamAssassin won't find the new rules unless you
somehow tell SpamAssassin to look there (which requires code changes).
Generally speaking, unless the defaults don't work for you for some reason,
stick with the defaults.
