spamassassin automated update

Hi.
Found this tutorial:
http://www.faqforge.com/linux/keep-the-spamassassin-filter-rules-up-to-date-in-ispconfig-3/
Will it work on Ubuntu 14.04?
Does amavisd need a restart/reload after a sa-update to use the new rules?
Thanks.

 

According to their mailing list, my guess is yes it does need a restart.

Edit, ah missed by one minute =)

 

I found spamassassin in cron.daily
but nothing about amavisd.
content of /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# Duncan Findlay
# [email protected]

# Daily cronjob for SpamAssassin updates. This isn't pretty but it
# should do the job.

CRON=0

test -f /etc/default/spamassassin && . /etc/default/spamassassin

test -x /usr/bin/sa-update || exit 0
test -x /etc/init.d/spamassassin || exit 0

if [ "$CRON" = "0" ] ; then
    exit 0
fi

# If there's a problem with the ruleset or configs, print the output
# of spamassassin --lint (which will typically get emailed to root)
# and abort.
die_with_lint() {
    su - debian-spamd -c "spamassassin --lint -D 2>&1"
    exit 1
}

do_compile() {
# Compile rules if the required tools are available. Prior to version
# 3.3.2-8, there was an additional check to verify that an sa-compile
# run had previously been executed by hand. With sa-learn now
# distributed in a separate, optional, package, this check is no
# longer necessary.
    if [ -x /usr/bin/re2c -a -x /usr/bin/sa-compile ]; then
        su - debian-spamd -c "sa-compile --quiet"
        # Fixup perms -- group and other should be able to
        # read and execute, but never write.  Works around
        # sa-compile's failure to obey umask.
        chmod -R go-w,go+rX /var/lib/spamassassin/compiled
    fi
}

# Tell a running spamd to reload its configs and rules.
reload() {
    # Reload
    if which invoke-rc.d >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    invoke-rc.d spamassassin reload > /dev/null
    else
    /etc/init.d/spamassassin reload > /dev/null
    fi
    if [ -d /etc/spamassassin/sa-update-hooks.d ]; then
        run-parts --lsbsysinit /etc/spamassassin/sa-update-hooks.d
    fi
}

# Sleep for up to 3600 seconds

su - debian-spamd -c "sa-update --gpghomedir /var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys"

case $? in

        # got updates!
        su - debian-spamd -c "spamassassin --lint" || die_with_lint
        do_compile
    reload
        ;;
    1)
        # no updates
        exit 0
        ;;
    2)
        # lint failed!
        die_with_lint
        ;;
    *)
        echo "sa-update failed for unknown reasons" 1>&2
        ;;
esac

 

I found one more file, etc/cron.d/amavisd-new

Code:

#
#  SpamAssassin maintenance for amavisd-new
#
# m h dom mon dow user  command
18 */3    * * *    amavis    test -e /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob && /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob sa-sync
24 1  * * *   amavis  test -e /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob && /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob sa-clean 

 

YES!!!
#This scripts restarts amavisd-new after spamassassin
#rules got updated
Thanks you are Chuck Norris in Linux!
