At the same time as the release of 10.6.3, Apple release Security Update
2010-002 for 10.5.8 (Leopard).

The release notes for both updates are contained in the same document:

"Security Update 2010-002 / Mac OS X v10.6.3"

<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4077>

(this was not yet available on the Apple site when I downloaded Security
Update 2010-002)

Apple often seems to take a day or so to publish the security documents
on their web site.

If you subscribe to Apple's security-announce e-mail list, you get them
as soon as the software update is published, which also doubles as
notice of a new minor Mac OS X update being released.

The complete set of Apple-hosted public mailing lists is here:

http://lists.apple.com/

and here is the page to subscribe to the security-announce list:

To underline that, I was prompted to run Software Update by reading the
posts here about the 10.6.3 release.

Done. Thanks for the pointer.

OK I did that and today found Security Update 2010-003 (according to

<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222>

this has a date of 14 Apr 2010.

No mail appeared.

I've just tried the RSS feed at

<http://images.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/security_updates/recent.r
ss>

but that hasn't been updated since November.

I did receive an e-mail about this security update (and every other one
since I subscribed in January).

The message for 2010-003 was dated Wed, 14 Apr 2010 13:20:59 -0700

It left the last mail server at Apple about four minutes later.

Checked your spam filters (and your ISP's ones)?

No idea - never paid attention to that one.
