My apologies for the rookie mistake. As a recent addition to the team I
missed the original discussion on requiring 'tflags nopublish' for all
sandbox rules.
Can someone point me at the Bug that discussed this and I'll update the
RuleSandboxes Wiki entry to reflect this.
Currently this is only among our "tribal knowledge". The Wiki needs a
bit of reorg to put this stuff into a logical place.
While I'm on the subject of Sandboxes; what are the rules for adding
DNSBLs to it for testing? Specifically I would like to add the fresh,
fresh10 and fresh15 lists from spameatingmonkey.com for testing as my
own local testing found them to be more effective and faster than the
day-old-bread list that is currently in the core ruleset.
A critical flaw here is the only way to truly measure its performance in
masscheck is with "reuse", which means the ham/spam corpora must be
tagged with this custom rule during delivery and masscheck only records
yes/no from the existing spamassassin headers. It is a waste of
resources and with misleading results to test these rules on FRESH type
rules on older mail.
And finally; I can't find any information in the Wiki about adding
plugins to a sandbox, specifically if this is allowed and what the
loadplugin line should be to get it to load correctly during the
mass-checks.
What plugin do you have in mind? If it is your URI shortener plugin I
would have to strongly protest. Its current design is good in theory
but it will never survive in mass production. It has the capability of
making spamassassin far too slow while it is too easy to bypass.
