Re: Re: possible mass bug filing: spamassassin 3
Hello there,
I was wondering too, why there is no SA3 in sarge yet. A friend of mine
asked to write a couple words about this new version from a system
administrator view.
When I was using 2.6x series, the main tool to mark spam was bayes
database, and some others tests would help to identify spam. But the
main one was Bayes. In v3, the situation is pretty different.
For me, the change from 2.6x to 3.xx was a huge leap forward. It is
pretty hard to explain how much better v3 is. The main thing to identify
spam now is surbl (www.surbl.org). Shortly, pretty much all of spam
contains some url's to some spam sites. All these websites/ip's are
being tracked in surbl database. Since the most of the spam is some
random words/junk and a spam url, it is a VERY efficient way to fight spam.
Please, please, please include spamassassin3 in sarge. One can live with
spamassassin 2.xx, but when you taste the difference... It does make
sysadmins life so much much much easier.
If it is not possible, is there any chance to get surbl tests in 2.xx
series?
