--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : spamassassin-iXhash2
Product     : Fedora EPEL 8
Version     : 2.05
Release     : 27.el8
URL         : https://mailfud.org/iXhash2/
Summary     : SpamAssassin plugin to lookup e-mail checksums in blacklists
Description :
iXhash2 is an unofficial improved version of the iXhash spam filter
plugin for SpamAssassin, adding async DNS lookups for performance and
removing unneeded features but fully compatible with the iXhash 1.5.5
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/ixhash/) implementation. It computes
MD5 checksums of fragments of the body of an e-mail and compares them
to those of known spam using DNS queries to a RBL-like name server. So
it works similar to the standard plugins that use the Pyzor, Razor and
DCC software packages from within SpamAssassin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Remove retired iXhash blacklists from default configuration and provide only
example configuration (#2345751, #2346368)
Read also the articles “Spam filter: DNS blacklist Nixspam ceases 
operation” and
“Die Ära der ix.dnsbl.manitu.net geht zu Ende” (only German) - and finally
update your existing mail server/anti-spam configurations, please.
