I admit I have been ignoring Spamassassin because it seems to work. I have been pleased that Spamassassin has been regularly flagging over 94% of my spam. And this list seems active (if mostly ignored by me).
But this e-mail caught my eye. Indeed, the version on spamassassin.org is old and the version offered by my Ubuntu installation matches. Well, if it is working pretty well in the face of rising spam volumes, that seems OK. But what about the sa-update rules? They are probably newer...yes, but my rules are from 2009-3-13. Do I have the latest? Is there a better source from which to draw rules? Am I coasting on my ongoing spam/ham training? Thanks, -kb
