https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=8335 Bill Cole <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|--- |DUPLICATE CC| |[email protected] Status|NEW |RESOLVED --- Comment #2 from Bill Cole <[email protected]> --- We do NOT have a policy of obliterating rules that have existed for many years solely because a DNSBL has evolved from "mostly free and useful" to "barely testable and not very good" because the rule names may be embedded in local meta-rules which would break if the rules were fully removed. The Validity rules have no effect unless the scores are overridden locally oe used in meta-rules. As with the MAPS rules, which we've kept for ~20 years after their closure to the public, the scores for the Validity rules have been set to zero in the default rules channel. The SpamAssassin project does not have a position on whether using commercial DNSBLs is good or bad. We include support for many DNSBLs which are only free for low-volume and/or non-commercial use. See bz#8278 and related discussion on the SpamAssassin Users mailing list for recent past discussion of this issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 8278 *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
