I use rules in my local.cf that are the same as bigevil. My "Blammo" rules wax a spam with 20 points. I realize 7 would do it, but I get sick pleasure out of giving them 20. Then I saw that Chris is doing basically the same thing. (only in manic hyperdrive). So I got lazy and now just download his work and use that. I yank out the ones that I don’t agree with. (few) This file he maintains takes an awful lot of time, I know. I would just suggest that anyone who uses it, take the time to look through the thing and remove the domains that they consider not spam, in between, or whatever... If I sound harsh, I don’t intend to be. I just think maybe people don’t realize how much of Chris' time that file takes up as it is. How-ev-uh.... your suggestion is good! So maybe someone could take chris' file, take it a step further (after each update) and split it into two files. (but even that would be someones opinion...what is ham to me may be spam to you. Who knows, I might have a thing for kangaroos) Then people could have a choice.
