Notes for Spamassassin for RHEL or Fedora ========================================= spamassassin-3.3.x RPM package for RHEL 5+ contains some new functionality beyond the upstream spamassassin documentation. Upstream spamassassin-3.3.x is no longer distributed with rules. Our package contains rules in order to be less of a surprise to system administrators. However just as you wouldn't rely on antivirus software without signature updates, spamassassin cannot be relied upon without regular rule updates. For these reasons, our RPM package now runs nightly sa-update by default. /etc/cron.d/sa-update The default cron runs sa-update once every night. You may edit this cron file to change the schedule of sa-update or to disable it entirely. If you had modified this file in the past you may need to restore the new file from /etc/cron.d/sa-update.rpmnew
