Bob, Excellent. thanks. - Gary > > I've just added a page to the SA Wiki at > http://www.exit0.us/index.php?MaskedWordList which explores this topic. > It discusses options, and lists all of the various masked / obfuscated > words I've identified so far. >
I followed some of the links on the main page, linked from your other word spellings - === (from the web page) Other rules sites: http://www.merchantsoverseas.com/wwwroot/gorilla/sa_rules.htm http://mywebpages.comcast.net/mkettler/sa/SA-rules-howto.txt (How to write rules) http://www.spamassassin.org/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html (the official reference documentation) William Stearns' collected blacklists: http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/sa-blacklist.current === A couple of questions/suggestions: Chris Santerre's list of rules at http://www.merchantsoverseas.com/wwwroot/gorilla/sa_rules.htm in turn points to some "body rules" that you (Bob Menschel) contributed, http://www.merchantsoverseas.com/wwwroot/gorilla/body.txt which has a lot of useful rules, but looking at the scores, it seems that you're using a higher threshold than the default value of 5? What value are you using, and why did you depart from the default value (of 5)? As a suggestion, in the interest of working towards some sort of colaboration on sharing rules, perhaps scores shouldn't be included at all with the suggested rules, and users should be encouraged to score them themsevles? Alternatively, suggested scores should be given using the default cut off of 5 as the agreed upon base line? Naming conventions. Bob consistently prefixes his rules with L_b, which I assume means "local body rule". Others use their own descriptive names. If we are to move towards collaboration, perhaps just regular descriptive names are better, so that they can easily become candidates for the production version of SA? In that regard, it might be helpful to have a central repository of currently registered rule names, so that we don't collide down the road. (Sounds overly complicated, but am just trying to understand the infrastructure necessary to support collaboration.) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
