Ah, that's right.  I couldn't remember why I
wasn't running with backhair anymore.

According to the wiki, Backhair is unnecessary with SA 3.0.0 (and presumably
the newer versions as well).

I haven't seen weeds hit in some time.  But I only look at low-scoring spam,
and it may well be that some of the really high-scoring stuff had help from
weeds.

Tripwire and Chickenpox and Backhair are still quite helpful in my opinion,
if you are in an english speaking situation.  Some of these can misfire
rather badly in other languages.  Which is not surprising, as they are based
on english language word formation rules and statistics.

I'm sure bits of these have made it into various SA rules over time.  But I
don't know of any concerted effort to move any of these complete rulesets
into SA.

Rules Q: chickenpox & weeds

2005-06-08 Thread Andy Jezierski 

I'm getting ready to upgrade to a new
server and have been looking through the rules that I use.  I know
that the chickenpox and weeds rules haven't been updated in a very long
time.  But have they or a variation of them been incorporated into
the new SA releases or new SARE rules?  Should I still download them
for my new server or have they been superseded?

Thanks
Andy
