Yes, and the wiki and documentation isn't clean enough (yes, I know, I can update it myself ;-) Bottom line: if you do it wrong, it MIGHT work. (ps, the reason I did it with sa-update --updatedir /usr/local/share/spamassassin for a year was the first time I did it default (with /var/lib/spamassassin) is that link failed, since the new rules added to /var/lib/spamassin (which replaced the old rules in /usr/local/share/spamassassin) were missing lots of files, and I ASS U ME D that it was a patch failure. Doing it my way worked (passed lint) but does load 3 sets of rules, so it was wrong. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email has been scanned and certified safe by SpammerTrap(tm) For Information please see http://www.spammertrap.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
