Why do you think it was pointless? This does a couple of things: 1. It provides needed feedback to rules before they can be published to the Internet via sa-update. 2. It adjusts the 72_scores.cf based on recent spam/ham which benefits everyone using spamassassin all over the world that runs sa-update regularly. >> P.S.

Are you asking for >hourly masscheck submissions? Today the delay of up to 24 hours is pretty slow to provide feedback or score updates. I don't think this will ever be intended to update quickly enough to help with zero-hour spam or replace technologies that react quickly like RBLs, DCC, Pyzor, etc. I have an idea that will allow masscheckers to cron the automasscheck.sh script hourly which would only run the full masscheck when they detect a new tagged ruleset to work with. Basically it would do a quick rsync of the latest tagged build dir like it does today but if there are no rsync changes, it would simply exit. Everyone would still keep sorting ham/spam as they do today so there would be no real change in that. Hopefully everyone is sorting at least every other day or every third day. I try to sort some every day since I also have this tied to local Bayes training to make this work a little more worth the time and effort. Dave
