[Bug 5097] New: Drop the Pyzor Plugin
http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5097
Summary: Drop the Pyzor Plugin
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P5
Component: Plugins
AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
ReportedBy: felicity@apache.org
This has come up now and again, so I thought I'd make a ticket...
It appears as if the Pyzor project no longer really exists. The last message on
the announce list was on 2005-04-03, and the latest talk on the discuss list is
about whether or not the project is dead.
So I think I'd like to see the Pyzor plugin move from the current distribution
into another location, such as the wiki's plugin listing area. Alternately,
move it into contrib or something.
Thoughts, etc?

My issue at the moment is that on the users@ list, there's discussions about how
certain patches are needed in Pyzor, otherwise there's an error and scanning
fails. If the project is dead, I don't want us to become a support organization
answering questions and pointing at patches.
I'm also not sure of the hitrate on Pyzor, since apparently none of the
nightly/weekly mass-check users have it enabled. So it's questionable how many
people actually use it and benefit from the plugin's inclusion in the distribution.

I'm against dropping, there are many people using it and it works.
For example check (from the pyzor-users mailing list):
http://www.i-block.com/php/lifetime.php?host=&span=daily&refresh=300
Also, the error you mention ("scanning fails") is probably inability to
handle binary parts, and is not critical as you make it be, as pyzor only
works efficiently on digests of text parts anyway (so even if it did not
fail for binary-only spam without text, it wouldn't gain you much).
it does not see much new developments, but that is partly because it "just
works" (but there are also some active spamassassin patches for pyzor, see #5148
for example)

Ok, since no one else seems to agree with me about it, I'm closing this ticket
for now. If the situation changes, this may be reopened.

Although the Pyzor project may not have been updated for a long time and the
mailing lists are quiet, it still works. The servers can be queried and spam
subitted to them, so should it not be kept - at least until such time as the
servers are taken off-air or it breaks in some other way?
