Hello all,

I've been using SA for some months now with great success. Its rule
scheme is very efficient and straight-forward when you learn some
regexp.

But, as an end-user (I sys-admin some thousands of mail accounts), I
think that the rules could be forked from SA, so community could treat
SA as a spam-scanning engine and the rules would be the spam database,
like an anti-virus package. This would allow a more often update of the
rules without the need to upgrade SA.

I understand that some rules depends on features/functions inside SA,
but such a proposed scheme would allow a more often update of the rules
for each (?) new spam.

So,

  SA Version N
     - Rules N.1 released on 01/01/2004
     - Rules N.2 released on 22/01/2004
     - Rules N.3 released ...

  SA version N+1
     - Rules N+1.1 released on 12/05/2004
     - Rules N+1.2 released on 02/06/2004
     - Rules N+1.3 released ...

  (...)

So, Rules N+1.X won't work on SA version < N+1.

The main purpose is to have a more often rules update without the need
to dig on mailling lists or the whole web for a rule set for a specific
new spam.

Just a brainstorm, hope to hear what you think. And sorry if this has
been discussed before.

Best Regards,
