Right. And I'm checking for updates several times a day. If the

running the rules from the dedicated channel and not the updates channel
so I have the latest.
The current situation is: automatic rule updates are only generated when
the corpa of recent messages used in the nightly masscheck is sufficiently
large (150k+ of both spam and ham, IIRC), and that's been difficult to
achieve for a while due to ham starvation. More volunteers to perform
nightly local masschecks of fresh ham corpora and upload the results, or
to maintain and upload non-private ham corpora to the nightly masscheck
server, would be most welcome!
If you watch 72_scores.cf in SVN you can get an idea of when the last
automatic update occurred.
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rulesrc/scores/72_scores.cf?view=log
Manual updates typically only occur for OMG! bugs or when the last
automatic update gets stale enough to be a problem.
Moving the sought channel update to z_sought seems like a good idea to
me, perhaps Justin should do that at the root so that everybody gets
scores if they subscribe to the channel.

There is no doubt in my mind that millions of lives could have been
saved if the people were not "brainwashed" about gun ownership and
had been well armed. ... Gun haters always want to forget the Warsaw
Ghetto uprising, which is a perfect example of how a ragtag,
half-starved group of Jews took 10 handguns and made asses out of
the Nazis. -- Theodore Haas, Dachau survivor
