Should I feel guilty for only masschecking the last 21 days?
No, certainly not. But I did want to point out that the corpus is biased
at the moment.
That was only an example. There are other rules for spam that I'm
receiving, and I have some contact with a fairly large ISP that has been
seeing similar traffic and reporting FNs to me, but the rules aren't
doing well in masscheck.
My personal message traffic is pretty small, and I don't know whether
the ISP can devote any resources to performing masschecks.
I've offered to run masschecks if ppl can't setup themselves but if I don't
get the data...
The problem there is privacy issues (for ham, at least).
DNSWL was feeding me a spam trickle but that has dissapeared as well.
Mark Perkel keeps offering his data... :)
I've been considering publishing a separate rules feed for
apparently-useful rules like this that masscheck doesn't seem to
consider worthy, I may have to consider that idea more seriously.
I'm personally in favour of ppl running separate repositories, a la SARE, but
that seems against the project's aims.
For the moment, though, I think I will "tflags publish" a couple of my
recent high-S/O rules. I wasn't proposing doing it en masse.
imo, if we all start doing this for a couple of rules which perform well in a
small eco system the collective turns into "en masse".
True. :(
but then... go for it
I can always turn them back off.
