Habeas

Bob -

Thanks for pinging us directly on tech discussion list. While we've certainly
heard a lot of direct SA user feedback re: current spam run, we weren't aware of
SA forum discussions. But we are listening and acting.

a. SA 3.0 will have a new Habeas ruleset to utilize the header *and* the whitelist (or HUL,
Habeas Users List) together. So any spoofing of the header alone by a spammer will be
irrelevant. I understand SA 3.0 is 6-8 weeks away.

b. We're testing the new SA 3.0 Habeas rules for backward compatibility with current versions of SA. So 
we hope (no promises - depending on testing results) to be able to get the rules and instructions out asap as
an interim solution to SA 2.x users prior to their upgrade to 3.0.

c. The legal work against the spammers currently spoofing habeas continues. We've traced them down
on a number of angles - extensive legal and technical discovery has been going on - we have had a
large team of people on it. I can't say anymore, other than we are on the case.

More next week as our work testing the Habeas rules in SA 3.0 for backward compatibility continue.

thanks - Des
