Can you please define "demoted".
Changed from enabled by default to disabled by default, largely due to
several issues that need fixing including:
1) lack of expiry process causes unbounded database growth. There's a
script to clean out single-hit entries, but multi-hit persist forever,
even when stale. (there are no timestamps on entries, so expiry isn't
possible at present).
2) the large database from above eventually causes a noticeable
performance hit, and the accuracy gains from AWL are small compared to
the hit.
There's a proposal to rewrite it with a slightly different conceptual
design to improve performance.
My ISP MidPhase.com <http://MidPhase.com/>, part of uk2group.com
<http://uk2group.com/>, uses cpanel.net <http://cpanel.net/> (used by
many ISPs)
which seems to be "stuck" on SpamAssassin 3.2.4 (2008-01-01)
I request they upgrade last year and they weren't interested.
I request this last week and they are still evaluating it.
Many are still using windows 2000 as well... /sigh.
