 run sa-update. It will create
 /var/lib/spamassassin/<version>/updates_spamassassin_org/ directory, where
 it puts updated rules, if it founds them. spamassassin and spamd later check
 these rules instead of those in /usr/local/share/spamassassin/50_scores.cf
 
 You may need older installation of spamassassin to verify this, I'm not sure
 that 3.1.8 has some updates, but I was able to update rules for 3.1.7 at
 least twice.
