Clay,

You have several replies about the difference between CR/LF and LF, but
nothing useful<g>.

To "LOOK" at the files, use Wordpad instead of Notepad. It handles either
line end.

SpamAssassin (actually perl) doesn't care in this instance. FTP'ing them in
ASCII won't hurt anything, but why mess with it?

You may want to look into SA-UPDATE anyhow. Much smoother auto-update.

Subject: CF files not formatted correctly; ASCII vs Binary?


Can someone give me an idea what is causing this and of its causing a
problem with my SA config?

I am using wget to ftp download several of the SARE rules on a weekly
basis.  When I look at the rule on the SARE site, its formatting looks
normal (spaces, tabs, indents, etc.); however, after an ftp download to
my PC and opening it in Notepad, its all run together and all the
formatting is gone.  Is this a result of ASCII vs binary?  Am I fouling
SA up?

Thanks gang,
Clay
