Script for updating spam assassin rules du jour. http://www.exit0.us/index.php?pagename=RulesDuJour
<snip from the page> RulesDuJour is a bash script intended to automatically download new versions of SpamAssassin rulesets as the authors release new versions. RulesDuJour is based on bigevilwget, which came across SA-Talk sometime back... I couldn't find the original author. If you know who wrote the original, please post here. </snip> Kyle Ben Johnson said: > Hey. > > I have spam filtering setup on my family's mail server. it works pretty > well, but it used to work better. those tricky spammers are finding > ways through spamassassin. problem is, managing a spam filter is not > something I want to devote a lot of time to. whenever possible I want > it to just work. > > So, I was thinking about how clam-av seems to work pretty well and how > the virus database is updated automagically... and this got me thinking > about setting up some thing that would share spam filters among > participants in a similar way.
