Hi Cami, The "Local Language Packs" can be used if you run SpamAssassin with a non-english locale and would like to receive the rule descriptions in your native language. So if you are in Germany and would use one of the spam report options in SA and a message triggered, say rule EvilNumber_A_1XX_1 instead of getting this: * EvilNumber_A_1XX_1 Message contains phone number or address pulled from spam You would get: * EvilNumber_A_1XX_1 Nachricht enth�lt eine Telefonnummer oder Adresse, die in Spam gefunden\nwurde I decided to place these extra "lang xx describe" entries into separate files for two reasons. 1. It lowers the actual file size of evilnumbers.cf 2. I'm not sure about this but, I was thinking that if you are running a daemonized version of SA (spamd/amavis/etc.) and did not use any localized languages, then all of the extra "describe" lines may still be loaded into memory even though they would not be used. So I created the extra .cf files that could just be dropped into place if needed. As one person said to me "Native languages rock!" Cheers, matt --I don't know any languages other than English, unless you count "tech jargon" as a language :)
