?#2 - spamassassin stuff

I see where the "load-sa-rules.pl" grabs the rules
from the normal install
location of SpamAssassin and anything in the same folder as
local.cf...
But...

/var/db/spamassassin/3.xxxx/etc where sa-update sticks its
files seems to be
ignored.

Am I missing a config switch?  
I have these:
$local_cf_dir =
"/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin";
$system_rules_dir =
"/usr/local/share/spamassassin";
$user_rules_dir = "/var/amavis/.spamassassin";

No mention I can find of where to find the updated rules.  I
promise, I will
run outta questions soon.

Leave $system_rules_dir set to undef in your maia.conf file
(or simply
comment it out, which has the same effect).  This tells Maia
to find the
appropriate directory automatically, and when it does this
it searches
first for the sa-update tree, just as SpamAssassin itself
does.

You can hard-code $local_cf_dir and $user_rules_dir if you
like, but
$system_rules_dir should almost always be left in its
default state so
that Maia can find it itself.

I changed my settings to undef, then ran the sa-rules update
script again.
It shows these on the first few lines:

$ /var/amavis/maia/scripts/load-sa-rules.pl --debug
2008-01-17 20:49:31 Maia: [load-sa-rules] SpamAssassin core
rules directory
= /usr/local/share/spamassassin
2008-01-17 20:49:31 Maia: [load-sa-rules] SpamAssassin
local.cf directory =
/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin
2008-01-17 20:49:31 Maia: [load-sa-rules] SpamAssassin
user_prefs directory
= /var/amavis/.spamassassin
2008-01-17 20:49:31 Maia: [load-sa-rules] Scanning
/usr/local/share/spamassassin for SpamAssassin rules

Etc etc etc...

Uh, still don't see /var/db/spamassassin/....

Help?  Any other ideas?

(btw, this is freebsd6 if that matters)

I checked the rules as installed, and it appears on a
cursory check that the
updates are not mentioned in the sql db.

Replying to my own mail..  Shame on me.

Digging a bit in the perl script (load-sa-rules.pl) it
appears that its not
checking all the default locations for SA to stick its
files.

There is a rediculously long list of places it can use, all
covered by the
script, but the sa-update script apparently has to do its
own thing, not
documented in the docs for SpamAssassin itself, but is
documented in the
sa-update docs.  

So, to make it work, for me anyway, I will need to modify
the
load-sa-rules.pl script to look in one more place...

Thanks for heading me in the right direction anyway.
