[BlueOnyx:20489] spamassassin and sa-updates

[Dirk Estenfeld]

Hello Michael,



I missed one other thing in /usr/share/spamassassin/sa-update.cron



The line



# Sleep random amount of time before proceeding to avoid overwhelming the servers

sleep $(expr $RANDOM % 7200)



is not useful in my mind. I guess you could change it to



sleep $(expr $RANDOM % 600)





Best regards,

Dirk

There are cronjobs for SpamAssassin and Clam AV present:



SpamAssassin: /etc/cron.d/av-spam-sa-update



This updates the rule files bi-daily if I recall correctly.



Clam AV: /etc/cron.daily/freshclam



This performs a daily update of the virus definitions for Clam AV.

However: Clamd also does a check on startup and if it realizes it's

virus definitions are outdated, it'll force an update during restart of

the service. Likewise Spamd runs sa-update on first start, too, which

brings it up to date.



All other services either don't auto-update against third party

services, or use their own data-source which is generated off the stream

of incoming emails. Milter-Greylist for example uses it's own locally

stored DB3 database and Milter-GeoIP stores its data in MySQL.



So upon installation of the packages you don't have to configure

anything for these updates to be performed.
