Before you upgrade SA you may want to make certain that your install is current on the rules updates, which are released on a fairly regular basis. You can do an "sa-update --checkonly -v" to see if you are current. There's generally a cron job in /etc/cron.d that checks for updates daily, but if it's not running for some reason your ruleset will be out of date. The 3.4 release will be better, but I found that 3.3.1, with some personalized tweaks, was still very good. - Richard ------------ Original Message ------------ > Date: Sunday, February 15, 2015 11:04:51 -0500 > From: Robert Heller <heller at deepsoft.com> > To: CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org> > Subject: Re: [CentOS] Updated Spam Assassin for CentOS 5... > > At Sun, 15 Feb 2015 07:47:29 -0700 CentOS mailing list > <centos at centos.org> wrote: > >> >> I have these available: >> >> http://mirrors.axint.net/repos/axis/x86_64/spamassassin-3.4.0-1.x >> 86_64.rpm >> http://mirrors.axint.net/repos/axis-source/spamassassin-3.4.0-1.s >> rc.rpm > > Thanks, I'll have a look.
