... that reminds me, sa-update OVERRIDES all of your current *.cf
files. So if you made any local changes to, say,
/usr/share/spamassassin/10_misc.cf to define the report format,
those changes will be lost.

You should only ever make changes to your "site-specific" files, like
local.cf, or sa-mimedefang.cf in case of mimedefang.
