Hmm, it seems there perhaps is little hope of updates for the current release of spamassassin, as they changed the format:
< require_version @@VERSION@@ --- > require_version 3.003000 And as you mention, one would be crazy to download 3.003000. So what might you recommend one do if one wants to have their spamassassin keep abreast of current spam patterns?
