ie: the two most recent for the 3.2 branch are:

# sa-update_3.2_20080114123639/
# sa-update_3.2_20080114144817/

Which were both made on January 14th, 2008. I suspect the rest is a timestamp, but I'm not entirely sure. If it is, the two were pushed a little over 2 hours apart.

The 3.3 branch has had more recent updates, but at present that's still a development branch, so the devs are more free to push rules to it that are somewhat experimental.



I have this in my cron to update the rules:
00 * * * * /usr/bin/sa-update --gpgkey 6C6191E3 --channel sought.rules.yerp.org --gpgkey D1C035168C1EBC08464946DA258CDB3ABDE9DC10 --channel saupdates.openprotect.com --channel updates.spamassassin.org --allowplugins

But since early Feb, I didn't see any update taking place. I have these in /usr/share/spamassassin:
Well, as I said above no updates have been published since Jan 14th. So I would not expect any.

but Justin rules were updated in the meantime.

However, sa-update's don't go in /usr/share/spamassassin. You'll *NEVER* see updates if you keep looking there. Feb 7th should be the date of your install.

Updates go into /var/lib/spamassassin/<version number>/updates_spamassassin_org/
or
/var/db/spamassassin/... if using FreeBSD ports
/var/spamassassin/... if using pkgsrc (NetBSD, ... )



If you look there, there should be files that are newer than /usr/share/spamassassin, but you'll only have found an update once since install. You won't find any again until a dev chooses to push rules to 3.2 That could be tomorrow, it could be a year from now.

Don't expect daily updates. SpamAssassin is not an anti-virus product. We don't need new rules for each and every spam message, we only need them when there's a very significant mutation.
