sa-update does not affect your SITE_RULES_DIR (in your case
/etc/mail/spamassassin) so everything there is still used.

You probably don't need to edit anything if you are using
the latest
version of spamassassin - it should Just Work. If using
older
versions, the change I noted above is in the amavisd
executable itself
(sorry I did not mention that).

Let's assume your DEFAULT_RULES_DIR is
/usr/share/spamassassin
(where your standard spamassassin rules are kept). When
spamassassin
finds new rules downloaded via sa-update
(/var/lib/spamassassin/...)
it no longer uses the rules in the DEFAULT_RULES_DIR so you
don't want
to place SARE rules there. You likely want to keep them in
the
SITE_RULES_DIR where you probably have them now
(/etc/mail/spamassassin).
It's pretty simple, when SA finds the sa-update rules, it
uses them
instead of the standard rules. The files in
/etc/mail/spamassassin are
not affected.
I quote:
"Once the /var/lib/spamassassin/<spamassassin
version> directory
exists, spamassassin expects to find all rules underneath
that directory"
but SA will still read rules from your
/etc/mail/spamassassin dir.
You can also use sa-update to dowload SARE rules:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=spamassa
ssin-users&m=115545719618240
There is also OpenProtect that packages the safest SARE
rules:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=spamassa
ssin-users&m=115637139728022
If you do, then of course you would want to remove existing
SARE rules
from /etc/mail/spamassassin (or subdirectory thereof).
