SPAMC32 0.5.55 is available for download at
http://www.mailmage.com/download/software/freeutils/spamc32/release
Users anticipating the big RegEx rollout will have to wait a little
longer, but there are some very powerful new features and performance
improvements in this release:
- You can add a SKIPIFWEIGHT-type threshold to ensure that no
SpamAssassin tests will be run if the message is already over a
certain weight: SPAMC32 will pass (0) such messages immediately. See
the -cw/-sw combo.
- You can specify a Declude-specific SpamAssassin weightrange
regardless of SPAMD's 'required_hits' directive. This is useful if you
want to create several different Declude tests with different Declude
weights; if you don't have/don't want control over a remote SPAMD
server; or if you want to change the effective SpamAssassin threshold
without restarting the daemon. See the -lt/-ht combo.
- SPAMC32 -? and relNotes.txt are still the main sources of
documentation. I'll get there soon. :)
SPAMC32 Release 0.5.55
1/12/2004
*****
IMPORTANT NOTE: Several defaults have been changed with this version
to better fit with anticipated deployments of Declude/IMail/SPAMC32.
While I know this is somewhat poor development practice, the installed
base of SPAMC32 is small enough that I felt it would be better to use
more appropriate defaults from this point forward. In addition, if you
are currently using the suggested GLOBAL.CFG test description
displayed by SPAMC32 -?, there are no necessary changes, though you
will be passing redundant data. All current users *must* review the
[*] entries in the release notes to see if you're trusting certain
defaults in your installation.

Release notes for this version:
[ + Added feature ]
[ * Improved/changed feature ]
[ - Bug fix ]
[ ^ Cosmetic/naming change ]
[+] Added switches '-cw' (current weight) and '-sw' (skip-if weight)
to allow short-circuiting SpamAssassin tests if the current Declude
weight of the message exceeds a set threshold. (These switches must be
used together.)
[+] Added switches 'lt' (low threshold) and 'ht' (high threshold) to
allow admins to set spam parameters on the client side, rather than
using SPAMD's required_hits setting. SPAMD results between the low and
high values will be considered spam regardless of the required_hits
setting, allowing for multiple tests and live updates without
restarting SPAMD. (These switches must be used together.)
[*] Changed default reporting behavior (when not using '-c', '-r',
'-s', '-y' switches) to '-c' (check only) for performance
considerations.
[*] Removed 'process' option completely: is redundant w/Declude as
aggregator.
[*] Changed default maximum message size (when not using '-a' switch)
to 32000.
[*] Changed default timeout (when not using '-t' switch) to 10.
[*] Changed suggested Declude test description for GLOBAL.CFG to leave
out values that are now defaults (timeout and message size), and fixed
error that suggested that the %QUEUENAME% parameter needed to be
specifically added to the command line (Declude appends the
%QUEUENAME% automatically. Existing users are urged to review this
change.
