and the rule is still triggering where it shouldn't, scoring ham as spam.

Should both of these directories exist? Is there something else I need to do to get /usr/share/ updated or should it be deleted? (or something else?)


For SA 3.2.5 and earlier, default rules are installed to /usr/share/spamassassin and are only used if none exist in /var/lib/spamassassin, typically created by using sa-update.

If your installation is still seeing the old rule, it is likely that either a copy of the rule exists in /etc/mail/spamassassin, which overrides rules in /var/lib/spamassassin, or that your spamd/amavisd/whatever hasn't been restarted since the rule was updated.
