Amavisd-new & sa-update

[dave]

I am unsure about updating spamassasin rules with amavisd-new. does this happen automatically? Where to tell amavisd-new to look for updated ruled? How can I test to be sure they're getting loaded when I reload amavisd-new?

There is some stuff about this online, but none of it is recent.

Any input much appreciated.

You have to update yourself, or set up a cron job.

Be sure to restart amavisd-new afterwards.

Thanks for the response, but it does not really answer my question. I know I need to run sa-update manually or via a cron job. And I know I need to reload amavisd afterwords. But - how can I _verify_ that the rules that amavisd is using have been updated? When I run

#amavisd debug-sa

i get the Mail::SpamAssassin version, but not the rules version/info. Also, what directory are rules supposed to be updated to? Where does amavisd expect them to be? Anyone?

Links to relevant reading would be good too. I am having trouble finding information that is up to date and relevant to FreeBSD.

Thanks in advance.
