RulesDuJour

[Mike Kenny <in...@gmail.com>]

The configuration that I inherited had only got TRUSTED_RULESETS="TRIPWIRE
SARE_EVILNUMBERS0 SARE_RANDOM"; in /etc/rulesdujour/config. This obviously
allows a lot of spam to filter through  (or at elaast would allow the rules
to become outdated). Looking at rulesdujour.sh I notice it references a lot
mor rule sets than these. What problems might I encounter if I add all of
these (except for those noted as pre 3.0) to my config file?

Well, ALL of them would be a bit much.

The drawback is that some will add some overheard, both in time and  
in resources, to processing messages.  The more messages your  
mailserver gets, the more you care about that.

I would look at the SARE ones and enable those that sound good to  
you, and see how that goes.
