I did not have a problem downloading it this week.
I just attempted an upgrade from SA 2.64 to 3.0.2, and am now having problems
with SURBLs and RBLs not working. I upgraded all of the perl modules
mentioned in INSTALL to the latest versions prior to installing SA 3.0.2,
including Net::DNS, which is at version 0.49. When I run:

Hi all.
I have seen several spammers lately using tables to obscure offensive
words in the message body. Most of them get caught by other tests, but
some get through. Do you guys have any ideas for rules to check this?
