*sigh*.. do we really need to start a SpamAssassin-Users mailing list

For those not familiar, when you get home for the evening, sit down,
with a beverage of your choice (milk, soda, coffee, wine, beer) and read
the days mail for spamassassin-users.

3 drinks - Poster believes the name AWL is accurate, and wonders why
they got a positive score.
1 drink - Poster asks a question answered by a wiki article

Sure, go ahead... Or make a decent Wiki article index so it's possible
to surf the wiki in a way that makes any sense.

Now it's hard to find articles, the wiki search often returns no
results, or even pages without relevance.
While I'll agree the index needs some improvement, and the search does
not work  for many things, the default behavior if you type "awl" in the
search box and hit enter yields:

http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=awl&titlesearch=Titles

Which has AwlWrongWay as the first hit

And going to the "CategoryFaq" link, under "starting points" on the
index yields:
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/CategoryFaq

Which has AwlWrongWay as the 6th entry.

That said, http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/FrequentlyAskedQuestions
really should link to  http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/CategoryFaq


True. Sadly enough, many people (me on that list) get so frustrated while trying to find out about specific topics that we simply turn elsewhere (like google) instead. Of course with loads of hits to hints, tips and tricks, which turns out to be worth as much as a sunlamp in Sahara when tested...

Or we go asking stupid questions on the list.

I'm very familiar with my old, but not so trustworthy anymore, SA 2.6.x and I got kindof confused by the many changed options and concepts in 3.1.

<whine>
Since I'm setting up a new mail gateway, there are a couple of options that need to interact, and with a documentation and wiki like the current SA, it turns into a annoying job to do it.

I'm on to the AV scanning now, wish me luck.. Hehe.
