General question about SA default ruleset

[Fabien GARZIANO <fa...@caliseo.com>]

Hi Folks,

I can't get nowhere, Wiki, FAQ, mail archive, this thing. I'm looking
for a kind of "dictionnary" providing an explanation for each rule of
the default ruleset provided with spamassassin ... Sorry for my poor
english. Let's have an exemple : 

RCVD_ILLEGAL_IP : In my .cf files, I only got "Received: contains
illegal IP address". I would like to know what exactly means an illegal
IP (looks like it can sometimes be an IP block undefined or some other
weird thing). 

In fact, if you know if this kind of index/dictionnary like this exists,
and if so, where it can be found, I would really appreciate. If this
doesn't exist, I would like to try to make one myself. If someone got
any information, that would be nice. I precide I'm not looking for
something like 
http://systems.cs.uoregon.edu/Solaris/spamassassin.php
Or 
http://www.nesox.com/document/Spamassassin%20Explanation.asp

That basically just rewrite what can be found on .cf files ... 

Thanks.

There is no such thing, but we welcome people's help in making it.  See
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4771 for information
about the idea.  So far, we've setup a section of the wiki:

http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RulesList

and people can put up descriptions of each rule, in standard wiki fashion.
