I apologize in advance if I seem a bit dim for this list - however it seemed the best place to get answers on how to maintain the out of date SpamAssassin install I have.
We are currently running SpamAssassin 3.2.4 on Mac OS 10.4.11 with a third party helper program that has been out of support for a few years that helps SpamAssassin talk to our e-mail server program that otherwise wouldn't interface with SpamAssassin at all. Anyhow, this current configuration only catches 20% out of all mail as spam, which is too low. I suspect what is needed is to get SpamAssassin updated. Mac OS 10.4 came prepackaged with SpamAssassin as I recall, but the third party/no longer supported tool also had a SpamAssassin installer as I recall, so I may have as many as two SpamAssassin folders on my machine, only one of which might actually be doing anything. My questions are these: 1. How can I determine where the running version of spamassassin is located? 2. Where are the rules for spamassassin located? 3. Where are updates to rules logged (I suspect I haven't actually received a rules update in over a year. Thanks for any information people can provide and I apologize for any questions that seem like they have obvious answers. I didn't see answers to these in the FAQ and while I've occasionally been successful installing programs from a command line interface, I'm not so great at it that I would plunge into it blindly just yet. -- Greg Lentz
