Yeah. I was trying to come up with a way that multiple people's corpora could be merged into one output ruleset -- but the problem is that the contents of every ham mail in the corpus are quite legible in the intermediate log files. not great for privacy ;) maybe having multiple SOUGHT rulesets is another way to do that. > The "build it and they will come" aspect of sa-update didn't rea= >lly >happen, unfortunately, so maybe helping to both create and then publish the >rules would be helpful. :) >Hrm.

It'd be a good way to persuade people to check in rules into SVN (and thereby get them visible to ruleqa too)... --j. >On Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 11:52:22AM +0000, Justin Mason wrote: >> listen, I've been generating the JM_SOUGHT and JM_SOUGHT_FRAUD rules as an >> "unofficial" project for a while.
