--- Comment #2 from Bill Cole <billc...@apache.org> ---
We do NOT have a policy of obliterating rules that have existed for many years
solely because a DNSBL has evolved from "mostly free and useful" to "barely
testable and not very good" because the rule names may be embedded in local
meta-rules which would break if the rules were fully removed. The Validity
rules have no effect unless the scores are overridden locally oe used in
meta-rules.
As with the MAPS rules, which we've kept for ~20 years after their closure to
the public, the scores for the Validity rules have been set to zero in the
default rules channel. The SpamAssassin project does not have a position on
whether using commercial DNSBLs is good or bad. We include support for many
DNSBLs which are only free for low-volume and/or non-commercial use.
See bz#8278 and related discussion on the SpamAssassin Users mailing list for
recent past discussion of this issue.
