This way at least only the most recent (sandbox) rules would be affected, so it's a bit safer. It's also faster to generate the scores, but this isn't so much of an issue now, as our main machine is quite beefy... There may have been other reasons, too, but I can't find the mails :( -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
