Which reminds me. The above comment is about clamav, and I know that there
has been some effort to automate updates of 'bigevil' and custom rulesets,
but I was wondering if there are any plans to automate the upgrades to
spamassassin?
More particularly, when I read the coments on 2.63 I go the impression
that they had updated code, along with adding rules, and so I faced the
potetential for the new code perhaps 'breaking' on my system/config.
Is there anyway to get updated rules *only*, without program updates?
I realize that some updates involve 'eval' rules and that does get into
program code, but still, I think it would be nice if there was some way to
have the spamassassin rules updates work a bit more like a virus scanner
update, with new rules properlyl 'reviewed' so that people like me without
a 'corpus' could trust a 'central repository' to have a good generic set
of rules, and have them updated often enough to catch the new spammer
'tricks' within a week or so?
Just a stray idea (and possibly too much wishful thinking). :-)
