I have written a script !!!
I have a wonderfull message for all of you
I wrote a script.
=================
:-)
It's here
http://mx.homelinux.org/spamassassin
WHAT DOES IT DO?
It brings you some rulz. Chechs them, and put them in the ruls folder.
It doesn't touch the official rules, just completes them.
HOW DOES IT WORK
First it creats a folder called "other"
Then it downloads some rules from some locations.
After this it checks them one by one with --lint
If the syntax is OK it copies them paste to the rules folder.
HOW TO USE?
copy the script in your /etc/cron.daily
optionaly _IF_YOU_TRUST_ME_ you may put a crontab to download
it from time to time from the upper location ... someting like
* * * * * wget wget -q "http://mx.homelinux.org/spamassassin"
--output-document="/etc/cron.daily/sa-fetchrules"

| | +--------- day of month (1 - 31)

+------------- min (0 - 59)
WHY to put in crontab?
because I will work on it and so you have allways the newest File
with the newest rulz.
It' GNU/GPL so you can all use it Falks.
someone kiss me !

It's not anything near as complete. The default location for the custom
rules does not look suitable to me and there is no linting of the rules
after an update, which seems to defeat the object of the exercise in my
opinion.

So how is this different from the RulesDuJour script that everyone uses?

Eek! I didn't see that message. Glad I saw *this* one, and removed the
antidrug.cf file. :)

One other thing Christian.
Please remove my antidrug.cf from your script. This file should NOT be used
by anyone with SA version 3.0.0 or higher as they are already included.
Please see my post "Antidrug.cf deprecated and no longer maintained." From
November 29.
I intend to remove this file and rename in antidrug-pre30.cf in the near
future.

Not quite. RDJ never updates itself -- it downloads the new version of
the script to a temporary location. Then it notifies you so that you
can check it manually and copy it to /usr/local/bin (or wherever) yourself.

Sounds just like the Rules du Jour situation to me. {^,-} And you CAN
read the script and figure out what it does, if you want.
FWIW I don't use Rules du Jour myself, either. I'm too lazy to switch
over to it. I built mine while RdJ was being developed, or that's what
it seemed like at the time. Mine's a fairly straightforward bash script.
If anyone else wants it I might doubt their good sense; but, I'd send it
to them no strings, if it breaks you get to keep the pieces. That said
I don't THINK it would break.
{O.O}

To his credit, Christian did make this optional and the name does imply there's
some risk.
However, you are right, way too many admins won't realize how dangerous it is to
turn this option on. Of course, sometimes people need to learn the hard way...
(and even that's not very effective, otherwise email viruses would be extinct.)

Uhm, so you expect people to automatically download a file from
your webserver to have it executed automatically as root? o.O
I'm really sorry, but suggesting this is so out of bounds, how
do you expect people to take that serious? It's not even about
trusting you or not, it's about a very, very high risk one
would expose himself. There is no perfect security, every
server can be hacked one day - yours too.
Please stop suggesting things that could make things worse for
a lot of people.
