Announce: GERMAN ruleset updated

I'd like to inform you that my GERMAN ruleset has been updates. It's 
available via RulesDuJour as ruleset ZMI_GERMAN, or directly from 

http://zmi.at/x/70_zmi_german.cf

I always update after new rules are applied, so the use of RulesDuJour 
is greatly suggested.

Please, if you use my ruleset and still get german SPAM, report to 
sare-german@zmi.at the *full mail with all headers*.

Any suggestions for improvement of the rules are welcome. The rules are 
written with an eye on creating no false positives, while hitting 
phishing, some viruses, and other german SPAM. Should you get a false 
positive, please send the e-mail with full headers to 
sare-german@zmi.at

Yes, I just inserted them some days ago, and forgot to adopt scores, 
which I did now. Thanks for that.

Because I don't know whether they are listed there, and there are people 
not using online lists, and all this rules are german specific and 
maybe don't get a listing there ever. What's Vistaprint?

Just wonder why this is announced as a SARE rule but its not available 
as a SARE dowload and was never passed theu SARE masscheckers.

Also the RASSISMUS_MAILS_* rules seems like extra boat which at wouldn't 
hit the msgs they were targeted for and could possibly cause FPS with 
scores that high.

Why not replace URI rules with a SURBL/URIBL listing if they are still 
active? and will not cause FPs (Vistaprint?)

Hi, that was a last-second-change small typo, is corrected in actual 
version already.

It's not SARE, they didn't want it there because they cannot check 
against their SPAM. Obviously there's nobody german speaking there. 

It's available via rdj, I was informed that this tool is independent of 
SARE, I also mixed that up in the beginning.

> and there's no reference to a SARE masscheck...

...which I don't run as it's not SARE. I participate in SA mass checks, 
but my rules are not active there. Another problem is that I don't have 
all SPAM directly available, but get it forwarded to write the rules. 
Extracting the SPAM from such forwards and reinserting it into my SPAM 
box is a PITA, so I skip that.

I didn't get a single report of FP until now, but can see several SPAM 
hitting my rules (especially those suggesting having sex today).
