If you don't want to use the rules in the updates directory, why would you
even need to run sa-update?
I wish I could. SpamAssassin dies with the message as below if I don't
run sa-update or move the directory '/var/lib/spamassassin'.
die "config: no rules were found! Do you need to run 'sa-update'?\n";
After an install one run of sa-update is required.
You point your spamd starting -C and --site-config to whatever path you
want and put whatever rules/.pre you need in those paths.
After that any future sa-update will be ignored.
Remember to edit .pre files and disable any plugin/feature from loading
to help avoid SA complaints and save resources.
