I'd forgotten what a PITA it was to get the sa rules loaded - until I tried to build a new system for my server. The previous time was last autumn, using LFS-6.8, and I vaguely remember that getting the rules from yerp.org was troublesome. Now, I'm back at that stage and yerp.org has again fallen off the net.
In the past 9 or 10 months since I built my LFS-6.8 system I've noticed that happen intermittently (I try to update the rules frequently). BUT - is it worth me persevering with trying to get these rules ? I notice that Mail::SpamAssassin doesn't seem to have been updated in that period, although the yerp.org rules certainly have been. I also note (on LFS-6.8) that very little now gets trapped as 'caughtspam' and the few pieces of spam and phishing that appear, and get used for spam training, don't seem to impact on what gets caught. i.e. I still see several pieces of spam / phishing each week. Is SpamAssassin still useful ? Is there a better solution ? Thanks. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
