Time to reply to myself.... I hope that this is ok with the SA devs and the wonderful folks that donate their time to supply us with great rules. I have put together a new page on http://wiki.spamassassin.org that details some of the popular custom rulesets. http://wiki.spamassassin.org/w/CustomRulesets is currently linked from the exisiting http://wiki.spamassassin.org/w/SpamAssassinRules page. -matt
