For Information please see http://www.secnap.com/products/spammertrap/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I used the ports update method Micheal mentioned above (on my dev box that was used to make the FreeBSD build I am currently using) cd /usr/ports make update. then changed to the /usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin directory cd /usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin make config (changed nothing) make make deinstall make reinstall answered Y when asked if I wanted to download the new rules Then found the new /var/db/spamassassin did exist, Now I am assuming that whenever sa-update is run, the new rules will be put in there and that my new site configs will be in /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin, and that the users overrides in /home/<domain>/.spamassassin/user_prefs will still work. Thanks to all the help you all. I conclude that when I updated FreeBSD from 8.0 release to 8.0 p#3 that thats when things broke. (ports not updated correctly). Learn something new every day! -Grant
