just tried typing in sa-update and it said it wasn't a valid command, I
downloaded some rules yesterday for the stock spam and that worked great.
sa-update is part of 3.1.
will my SpamAssassin database get erased upon upgrade to the new version?
Do you mean the Bayes database? It won't get erased but I think there is a command you have to run
to upgrade it. Check the upgrade file.
Thanks,
Dmitri

Greetings,
Spamasassin is a great product and has been very useful to us. However I
would like to ask what maintenance should/can be done to have spamd work
more effectively (i.e. filter out more spam). Currently my users get
between 5-15 spam messages per day. I spend my time extracting the spam
mail out of their mailboxes and then doing spamassassin -r on those
messages. Is there anything else I can and should do?
My last question is about the new version 3.1.7, does it filter and
catch spam better then 3.0.6. Is it stable yet?
Yes, you should definitely upgrade to 3.1.7. Then run sa-update to get
the latest rules. Also
consider getting some SARE rules via sa-update:

Also be sure that you are running with network tests.
