Script/method to download and update an external .CF file

[jimimaseye]

Im interested in this KAM.cf rules: http://www.pccc.com/downloads/SpamAssas ... rib/KAM.cf

However, the only method I have been offfered in updating it is for a unix box/bash shell script.

Anyone any ideas on how to implement a script or method to do a periodical check for updates of this file?

Can The Jam Variant have multiple .cf files?

If so just a script to periodically delete that file, download the new one, and restart SpamAssassin should work...I'd guess that even every few weeks would be OK

I take that time frame back. He says he updates multiple times per day...

What are the details of the bash shell script? This may be able to be converted to a Windows shell script...

I don't km know how to download and place the cf from the website link. I know it's doable in vbs but need guidance.

There is some powershell info there


Or a WGET for windows variant here >> http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm

(Mind you, Ive decided just to take the MAILSPLOIT rule - Im ok with what I have from default rules. But will remember KAM.cf if it provides more use to me).
