SARE fraud ruleset rotted?

SARE ninjas lurking about:

I tried to send the following to Matt Yackley via 
fraud@rulesemporium.com, but that address bounced. Is Matt (or anyone 
else) still maintaining the SARE fraud rulesets?

Matt:

I'm getting a lot of 419 spams that aren't hitting fraud rules in
99_sare_fraud_post25x.cf at all. I note that the ruleset has
apparently not been touched since 2004 - is it abandoned and no longer
relevant for 3.1.x?

Thanks!

What about people who haven't migrated from 3.1.x to 3.2.x yet?

John,

I'm pretty much the maintainer of all the old rules for SARE.

I think most of the 419 rules should be pretty much now in SA 3.2.x they
are called ADVANCED_FEE* and something like NIGERIAN_419* or something
like that.

I'll see if I can ping Matt on our SARE list.
