10/31 When was spamassassin 2.6 released? Didn't someone ask on the motd
last week why SA wasn't catching as much any more? Looking at the
default version on soda, it's 2.54, from May...
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.54 (1.174.2.17-2003-05-11-exp)
\_ IFILE
\_ How can you claim ifile is better if you don't even have the
latest version of spamassassin to compare?
\_ IFILE.
\_ good -84925
troll -84374
God damned ifile.
\_ I'm running an ancient version of SA and it hasn't been wrong yet.
Don't be a gn00waReZ kid. Newer isn't always better.
\_ OK, how would old rules that spammers have adjusted their spam
to defeat still prove effective in this case? Not. What
possible incentive would there be to *not* upgrade? (other than
upgrade-time-cost)
\_ genius because they kept readjusting to the new SA but no
longer account for the old one. it isn't rocket science. the
incentive to *not* upgrade aside from being a waste of my time
is the old version works really well whereas the new version
is at best unproven and the spammers are targetting it so
gn00waREz kids are trapped in an endless upgrade cycle while
I happily continue to successfully toss out spam with my
ancient and distinctly not new but very functional version.
\_ you're a moron.
\_ IFILE
\_ yes, I'm a moron but my SA works perfectly and you're
sucking down spam. think about it.
\_ it's very easy to prove a point if you don't
bother keeping to actual reality.
\_ Does that even parse in English? Maybe you'd
like to try again?
\_ it's parseable english.
-- impartial observer
\_ Agreed. -- language snob
\_ Then you uber geniuses can
explain to this native speaker
what he was trying to say.
\_ that the guy who claims his
old version of SA works
perfectly is lying.
\_ I just upgraded my SA. In -MCPAN shell I just typed in:
install Mail::SpamAssassin, got some tea, came back, and 2.60 was
installed. I'm not sure if it's any help, but generally the newer
rules work better. |
