We are in the process of doing a long awaited and overdue upgrade of our
servers (from Suse 9.2 to 11.4), which involves upgrading the (bundled)
spamassassin (used with sendmail and amavis milter) from 3.0 to 3.3.
- the new bundled spamassassin has a very simple local.cf.
We had a local.cf (inherited from a nationwide working group
for academic networks) which did things like tuning BAYES_00 to _99
scores, defining local networks, adding razor, pyzor and dcc)
can we just insert the old keywords in the new one safely ?
- what about the bayes databases and awlst ?
- can we just move the old ones in the new distribution, or is
this forbidden by some format change or other incompatibility ?
- and even if we could, is it wise doing it, or is it better to
train bayes afresh (e.g. from a corpus of the latest month spam,
and ham from the folder of selected/volunteer users) ?
