"Spammers beware! A new version of Apache SpamAssassin has you
in its sights. After over two and half years of development,
SpamAssassin 3.3.0 is now available, providing mail administrators
with new features to better stem the flow of spam into their
organizations.
"The popular open source antispam project, which is run either
as a mail server or locally as a spam filter, uses a variety of
techniques to detect unwanted bulk e-mail. Now with its 3.30
release, SpamAssassin (SA) is taking a major step forward in
separating its rules engine from the core product -- a move that
aims to improve the overall efficacy of spam detection.
""Removing the rules from the core product eliminates
duplication of rule files and confusion about which rules on a
system are actually used," Daryl O'Shea, Apache SpamAssassin's
project management committee (PMC) chair, told
InternetNews.com."
