Well as my second sentence said - there is ALREADY a rule in
72_active.cf that detects this. That's all Andy was talking about.
There's an existing rule and he proposed an update that would make it
more effective to do *what it is already designed to do*
Exactly. I should have started with that point. I apologize for starting off
on a tangent with the porn issue.
I am just suggesting an update to help FS_TEEN_BAD catch more of what it
appeared to be already intended to catch.
I honestly do NOT want to get into a debate on porn. That is why SA let's us
adjust the rule scores. If we want to run it as a porn filter, then we can
increase selected scores. Or not if we so choose.
And in fact, the original complaint was for the "bad" word, not the phrase, in
the subject. We have already passed back to the user that we have a special
"Block list" filter that anyone can apply to their emails if they do not want to
see ANY emails with selected words in the subject. But that is an individual
choice and not something we are going to apply system-wide.
Hooray for SpamAssassin, Open Source and being able to run our own filters as we
choose to!
