hey guys -- listen, I've been generating the JM_SOUGHT and JM_SOUGHT_FRAUD rules as an "unofficial" project for a while. However, I'd like to move them into the "official" Apache SpamAssassin project aegis.
Basically, they're automatically-generated. Review takes place post-publishing, if any. This means there's potential they could cause lots of false positives somehow, although to date over the past couple of years, they haven't. The main reason I kept them away from "official" status is the danger of them going haywire and causing FPs. This definitely isn't compatible with publishing as part of the "main" ruleset, but it could be an optional add-on sa-update channel -- basically, the same way it is now, but at a sought.rules.spamassassin.apache.org name, instead of sought.rules.yerp.org, with the same understanding of potential scariness -- "this is an official product, but use with care". WDYT? --j.
