I'm running version 3.2.3-0.volatile1 on Debian etch (it supposedly has a number of backported fixes from 3.2.4). I run sa-update every night on two channels: saupdates.openprotect.com (which contains the recommended rules in the SARE), and updates.spamassassin.org. If there is an update, I run sa-compile and then restart spamassassin. Micah
