I can confirm that no updates seem to have been published since May 21, and my systems are on update version 1680203, too. If I understand correctly, updates should be published daily as long as everything is running smoothly, including mass-checks which are required for assigning scores to updated rules. However, mass-checks seem to have been insufficient during the last two weeks. If they are kept up at the current level, we should be able to expect an update at the weekend. To answer Harald's question: Even if there are no new rules, updates will still be published with current scores in order to better cope with the kind of spam that is being sent right now. After all, spammers keep adapting their tactics. Regards, Marc
