So the default install (on FreeBSD) sets Local State to /var/lib in both
Spamassassin and mimedefang but sa-update
uses /var/lib/spamassassin/<version> - I cannot set LOCAL_STATE_DIR in
mimedefang-filter since mimedefang.pl overrides the variable when
running spam_assassin_init(). Setting -update-dir /var/lib when running
sa-update has no effect either. I cannot get the new rules (like the
80_ ) to hit no matter how I configure the updates. Any ideas?
