+After installation, as spamassassin source does NOT include rules anymore, you
+have to run "sa-update" script then restart "/etc/rc.d/rc.spamd", in order to
+retrieve updated rules, *BEFORE* using spamassassin or spamc for the first time.
+Rules will be installed in a sub-directory of /var/lib/spamassassin/<version>/
+directory: don't manually move them!
+
+Upstream developers recommend rules to be kept up-to-date regularly.
+A really minimal cron script is provided in /etc/cron.weekly/ to dynamically
+check, download and install new rules every week. If you need a different
+periodicity you can move the cron script accordingly.
