I mean in the official SA wiki. Something like, "SpamAssassin contains a large compilation of rules that have been thoroughly tested and scored based on a very large base of spam and ham. Other users have created sets of rules that may increase the effectiveness of SpamAssassin for you. Most of these rules have not gone through the rigorous tests that the standard rules have. Use them at your own risk." And then list all the sites that have publicly available rules... It just gives new users a place to look and find rules that might help them deal with their spam. Maybe we could also include "Recommended For General Use" on the ones that seem to work well for a lot of us (Backhair, Weeds, Chickenpox, BigEvil, etc). Bret Bret Bret
