The popcorn, weeds, backhair, and evilrules are meant to be replaced, not added. Other rules can just be added. The whole site will be overhauled. There are lots of great people working on that. evilrules12c.cf should work much faster then evilrules11.cf
The idea is for evilrules to stay fresh. I could cat all the evilfiles together, run uniq on them, and have a HUGE list for the last few months of spam, but if they don't use those hosts anymore, it isn't worth the performance hit. So 5-17 days an update should do the trick. --Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Roberts, Samuel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, November 21, 2003 4:34 AM > To: Spamassassin-Talk (E-mail) > Subject: FW: [SAtalk] Evil Rules update! > > > Hi, > > I've implemented the latest popcorn, backhair, weeds and > evilrules11 on our spam filter - they have hit our spam > levels very hard.
