Is all we have to do to patch the Razor2 timeout issue with the alarm
being reset is to apply the cvs changes for the files Dns.pm and

Both of these questions pertains to amavisd-new. Ask on the amavis lists

Note that sample-nonspam.txt is included in the SpamAssassin tarball.

Spammers are spamming using "from" addresses as random people on their spam

They're 100% tied together -- there's lots of new features (meta rules
