For most software, I'd strongly agree with you. But anti-spam software is like anti-virus software. The battle evolves rapidly, and you need to evolve with it if you're going to be effective in fighting it.

With SA 3.1.2 just released, 3.0.4 is archaic. It's like fighting the Gulf War with WWII weapons. (And anyone using SA 2.xx is using stuff from the 19th century.)


You're absolutely right of course - but those of us relying on Debian stable have only got 3.0.3-2sarge1 to go on.

Is it safe to pin spamassassin to the version in testing (currently 3.1.1-1) when everything else i use (sendmail/mimedefang/clamav) is out of stable - or should i pin those 'upwards' as well?

cheers,
