Thanks for the heads-up.... I didn't think the Ident and INet6 was a big deal, but then again I'm still learning... I'm going to do some more reading on the sa-update stuff and get it fleshed out. In the mean time, I'm running my older rule set which has been real stable for me. I would eventually like to get sa-update working the way it should.

Those aren't serious errors in most environments. If you don't know if you need Net::Ident, you don't need it :-) As for INET6, you should know if you need that as well. If you don't, you're unlikely to need it either. > I'm pretty new to sa-update, I've used RulesDuJour in the past.

Noticed the same thing with the most recent version, 3.1.7, on FreeBSD. sa-update defaults to /var/lib/spamassassin while it used to be /usr/local/share/spamassassin on old versions (3.1.0 at least). The change isn't in the commit history on Freshports, so I dropped the maintainer a line, but no response. I think using /var/lib/ is desired behavior, even though I personally never seen a package on FreeBSD using /var/lib/ and it is slightly confusing at first. But using /var/ does make more sense.
