RulesDuJour

[Roland Klein Overmeer <Ro...@combine-it.nl>]

Hi All,

 

I'm new to the list, and haven't been working with Spamassasin for long
(about 1 year). It worked fine filtering spam, but now more and more are
getting through. I found something called RulesDuJour on the net, but it
seems it's not being updated anymore. Is it usefull to stil use it, or
does anyone have some advice about thirth party rules that can help?

 

Regards,

Roland.

... and after first sa-update, it won't get used even.

Any add-on rules should be placed in the same directory as your local.cf
(ie: /etc/mail/spamassassin/ in most cases). SA reads *.cf from this
directory, not just local.cf.

Adding files to /usr/share/spamassassin, or making changes to files
present there, is not a good idea. When SpamAssassin gets upgraded, this
whole directory will be nuked by the installer.

I am sure RulesDuJour are obsolete for more then a year. Since
SpamAssassin-3.1, sa-update is the preferred say to upsate rules, including
those of SARE. Who told you to use the RulesDuJour script?

The SARE rules aren't being updated for longer time, see
