Re: IMPORTANT NOTICE: Rules referencing WHITELIST or BLACKLIST in process of being Renamed
You go shut your piehole Woke white guys who know best about racism against blacks and who use a domain name that insults native Americans have spoken!!! Black people and people of color need to go sit down and shut up while woke white guys who know best for them do what is best for them. Ted PS Just be happy they haven't renamed the program "spamstopper" because the name Assassin isn't I CAVE-approved (although icave disbanded when the woke people who hated warner brothers succeeded in getting Bugs Bunny off the air...was replaced by a bunch of other splinter groups) Have sympathy for them it's really tiring to be so woke

Re: IMPORTANT NOTICE: Rules referencing WHITELIST or BLACKLIST in process of being Renamed
ah sorry i wrote that totally wrong... i mean we have "whitelist_from" setting. should i change that to "welcomelist_from" or to "welcome_from", because when changing from "whitelist" to "welcomelist" should "welcomelist_from" be "right" but "welcome_from" sounds better.

Dear Kevin, I maintain a rule set specificly targeted at the Dutch language: [ https://dutchspamassassinrules.nl/DSR/DSR.cf | https://dutchspamassassinrules.nl/DSR/DSR.cf ] One example is that our IRS ("Belastingdienst") is whitelisted by the following rule: whitelist_from_spf *@belastingdienst.nl Our IRS ("Belastingdienst") uses DKIM, SPF and DMARC, so fake messages are extremely easy to detect. This list (DSR) is used by a number of mailservers in the Netherlands.

Kevin, Please consider adding an easy way to turn the backward compatibility on and off. So we, person in charge of mail systems, can find all the obscure places where the renaming will break something; because I am strongly beleiving that issues will arise from the less unsuspected places. The compatibility enable option will allow us to run without compatibility, notice where the thing break and enable the compatibility while solving the issues.

My feeling on this is that such a breaking change requires a fairly lengthy backward-compatible transition period (with appropriate warning messages for those still using the old terminology, but not such that it no longer works), rather than just switching over suddenly from "old" to "new" with no "dual use" interim period.
