SpamAssassin, by nature, is community developed. The only official rule sets are the ones distributed with SpamAssassin, and (beginning with version 3.1.3) updated by sa-update. Other rule sets exist and are maintained by other contributors. Whether you trust them or not is up to you. www.rulesemporium.com is probably the most commonly trusted spot for additional rule sets, but certainly not the only one. For automatic updates, try RulesDuJour (http://www.exit0.us/index.php?pagename=RulesDuJour) for *nix systems or RulesUpdater for Windows (see the page below). http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/CustomRulesets describes some of the available rule sets. Note that the wiki can be updated by anyone who signs up, so it's up to you to test the rules before implementing them on your server. Bret
