I think it's more accurate to say the usual reason is that too many people have stopped automatically submitting data via masscheck, and we need more people to submit data. I have a graphical representation of the problem here: http://www.chaosreigns.com/dnswl/tot.svg Green is spam, red is non-spam. They both need to be above the blue line (150,000 emails each) for score generation to run to create the rule updates. Counts as of the last (net) run: Non-spams: 136261 (90.8% of the minimum) Spams: 351950 (234.6% of the minimum) > So, how do we get it top-up'ed? You contribute your data: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/NightlyMassCheck The more we have, the more accurately we can calculate optimal rule scores, always. Unfortunately the Project Management Committee has a habit of never responding to requests for masscheck accounts. But the current situation appears to be abnormal. For some reason RuleQA / score generation isn't including data submitted by uploading full emails (normally just rule hit stats are uploaded). There is an open bug about that problem here: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6671 It seems there is nobody with the access, knowledge of the system, and time required to fix the problem. There was supposed to be a SpamAssassin v3.4.0 Release Candidate released 19 days ago, which seems to be primarily held up by this rule update problem. Which nobody is working on. -- "Go forth, and be excellent to one another." - http://www.jhuger.com/fredski.php http://www.ChaosReigns.com
