OK, we really need to figure out some way to kill these FAQs off. Every week, someone asks a question about why SpamAssassin is killing their server, and most of the time the answer is "stop using blacklist.cf and blacklist-uri.cf". If 1 person is asking the question, chances are there's another 10 people who aren't asking, and who are just ditching SpamAssassin entirely. :(
I think I'll add a new question right on the top of the FAQ list about this... What else can we do?
Has anyone asked Bill to stop distributing the blacklist in a format suitable for direct use with SpamAssassin? That, to me, seems to be the most effective and sensible way to deal with it. Modifying the software, as has been discussed, seems a little extreme to me.
