Re: Invitation to become Apache SpamAssassin committer: Bryan Vest

2017-05-06 Thread Bryan Vest
 I accept the offer to be a commiter to the Spam Assassin project.

I have offered to help with sys-admin tasks but I also do know a good bit
about the SA code as I have been using it at different companies for years.
Some for inbound scanning some heavily customized for outbound scoring and
mail routing with postfix. I am also very familiar with sendmail, more so
than
postfix.

I would like the login id bvest.

Re: Feature idea: Expiring rules

Our company does something similar with external scripts that we wrote. Our
small but powerful internal RBL works somewhat the same way. Very useful.
