Short version, since this got long: Should I clean up the rule sets page ( http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/CustomRulesets )?
In October, dnswl.org started requiring payment from sites hitting it more than 100,000 times per day. I've been involved in dnswl.org since 2006, I've been an admin since there was an admin interface, and I've provided one of the dnswl.org DNS servers since 2007. I have never received a cent from anything related to dnswl.org, or anything else related to spam, and I don't expect I ever will. I added my (dnswl) plugin to the custom plugins page, and then deleted 39 of the 48 plugins listed above it. And then I moved 3 of the remaining (commercial) plugins below it. I believe what I did was entirely in the best interests of the spamassassin project, but it sounds kind of terrible. If I had to choose between keeping the changes I've made to that page and removing the dnswl plugin, vs. reverting the cleanup I did and keeping the dnswl plugin, I'd be much happier with removing the dnswl plugin, to eliminate conflict of interest. Admittedly, this is partially due to my own frustration with dnswl.org. Now I just added the rules for my new IP reputation thing to the custom rule sets page. Which reminded me I want to clean up that page too. But I'd rather have my stuff listed on the rule sets page than clean it up, if I have to choose. So how do you guys feel about me cleaning up the custom rule sets page? I have complete confidence in my ability to do it purely in the best interests of the spamassassin project, but recognize the conflict of interest. Due to lessons learned from the plugins page cleanup, I'd ask the contacts to either email me to let me know their rule set listing should be updated, or update it themselves, with instructions on how to request wiki access. The rule sets page has about quarter as many entries as the plugins page did. -- "Wash daily from nose-tip to tail-tip; drink deeply, but never too deep; And remember the night is for hunting, and forget not the day is for sleep." - The Law of the Jungle, Rudyard Kipling http://www.ChaosReigns.com
