It's used to update the stock rules (and third-party rule-sets), and it's purpose is to fix issues with the rules and improve the rules without the need to push a full new SA release. It does not harm your configuration or touch custom modifications in any way (given you placed those properly in /etc/mail/spamassassin and did not mess with the stock rules). http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RuleUpdates Well, if you could use it... -- char *t="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
