Chris S May I suggest.
do a change - make sure the comment that gets displays by the RDJ says this rule will be deleted in a week.
after a week take it off the rulesemporium site....all the RDJ will 404 on it..
just a thought.

network tests and
disabling bigevil.. Much lower overhead.
Can you explain how I make that switch or refer me to any
relevent docs?
Really, all you need to do is make sure Net::DNS is installed.. SA 3.x will by default begin using the SURBL DNS based URL blocklists.
Chris S (author of bigevil) worked with Will S to merge the bigevil data into the ws.surbl.org DNS list quite a while ago, and has been recommending people use SURBL instead of bigevil.cf where possible.
I heard my name :)
BigEvil hasn't been updated in about 4 months. Last week someone mentioned
they still used it, and for giggles I checked what it would be like if I
updated it. It killed servers when it was around 900k. Its now 2.7 megs!
I guess one sure way for people to stop using it, is for me to update it :)
