(nod) Exactly. And that is what is needed to do a masscheck...
I wonder how much companies would pay for a part time SpamAssassin honcho who can be trusted (bonded?) and can write SARE-ish rules tailored to the company's email. Is there a job opportunity for somebody here? (And, yes, I do suspect the burnout time would be rather short.)
(smile) I've got my own custom rule file format (plus a script to convert to standard SA rules format). This reduces the effort to add a new rule pretty much down to a cut-n-paste operation. Must admit there are some days when I do feel a bit burned out, but generally I am gratified to see my new rules trigger on the remainder of a spam flood.... :)
As for trust, I never need to see the ham, just the spam, which has no privacy issues (smile).
