The entire rule database was redone, so asking which new rules doesn't make a lot of sense. Many rules were added, but many were removed as well. All new rues also means all-new rules, I guess. > Is it a matter of patterns that are being used that can't be implemented > in v3.2.5? What are those current spam-fighting measures? It's an entirely new ruleset. You cannot take the 3.3 rules and drop then into 3.2.5 and have it work, for example. > It seems the FEATURE LIST describes the features that have been > developed to implement the "current spam-fighting measures", but > doesn't actually describe those measures, unless I'm missing it. I think if you think of it more like an anti-virus tool it will make more sense; it's not really about the new features as much as it is about being effective. running 3.2.5 is a lot like running a year-old Norton. -- Han : You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake, well, this could be it, sweetheart.
