That seems correct from what I have seen.
Speaking of development. rspamd is starting to really take off:

I hope we can keep SA out there as the leader that everyone compares
themselves to:

There are some meaningless red X's under SA like greylisting and rate
limiting that are done outside of SA but the DMARC and ARC support
seem to be way ahead. SA basically has no built-in support for DMARC
or the new extension of ARC.
That would be something to mention on dev@ or users@. I would also
suggest bugzilla bugs being opened to do this with as much information
as you can muster.
Kevin,
There are soooooo many bugs already open. I looked around BZ some last
week and it seems like there is no real recent movement on anything. I
would like to create a BZ to get a DMARC plugin started but on the users
mailing list a few weeks back it didn't seem to get any traction or
enough interest. It seems like so many people are using SA in many
different ways that the momentum to move things forward is fragmented.
The great thing about SA is that it's very flexible but that is also a
negative thing too.
For example, I have mine tuned very well right now so I don't have to
baby-sit adjusting scores for the spam-of-the-day/hour. I would like to
share my configuration techniques with others to help the SA community
but I get a bunch of negative feedback from the users mailing list when
I do.
Maybe there are some out there that took some of my techniques and are
trying them out but it seems that everyone is kinda set in their ways.
Mail filtering is changing with SPF, DKIM, DMARC, ARC, etc. RBLs are
still very important but SA currently doesn't use enough of them by
default. I understand they have to meet some requirements before they
can be included in SA by default which is why I am pushing this in BZ.
There are some brilliant people on the users list that do mail filtering
as their business but they don't want to give away their "secret sauce"
and I get that. But we should be able to elevate the entire SA
community by improving the default SA configurations and rules. It
basically took me a few years of using SA part time to figure everything
out which is too high of a barrier of entry for most sysadmins who do
mail filtering as one of many roles.
