SpamAssassin 3.0 Released

Posted by timothy on from the great-day-for-mankind dept.

davemabe writes "At long last, SpamAssassin 3.0.0 has been released. I've been using the release candidates for a month or so, and the results have been far improved over previous versions. Its use of SURBL along with Bayes auto learning make it seem like this solution is the one to beat. It looks like they've introduced a new logo as well. Snazzy!"

    The only way to stop drugs is to realize that it is a social problem and legislate against it. Use enforcement to stop drugs in their tracks.

    Waaay offtopic, but...

    Huh? The only way to stop drugs is to kill everyone the first time they try them.

    The human persuit of mind and mood altering substances is prehistorical. Its common to all cultures. There are some sociologists that believe that human society came together in order to form a more organized structure and division of labor for the fermentation of grains and fruits.

    Heh that reminds me of The Fifth Element. In the beginning of the movie a mugger fools the main character into thinking the coast is clear by wearing a special hat that had painted onto the top of it what the main character would normally see when looking on his surveillance screen so when the mugger pressed the hat up against the surveillance camera, the main character couldn't tell there was actually a mugger waiting for him on the other side of his door:

    46A INT. KORBEN'S APARTMENT - DAY

    A thermo nuclear explosion fills a T.V. screen..Which Korben's cat watches with interest.

    Korben is about to exit the apartment.

    KORBEN
    Don't watch it all day, it'll rot your mind. Bye sweetie..

    In response, the cat meows. Korben opens the door to..A huge gun, brandished by a nervous MUGGER, pointing right in his face.

    MUGGER
    The cash man!

    KORBEN
    Been here long?

    MUGGER
    Don't fuck with me man or I'll blow you into tomorrow!

    Unperterbed, Korben looks at the mugger's fearsome weapon.

    KORBEN
    Isn't that a Z140? Alleviated titanium. Neuro charged assault model?

    MUGGER
    (off balance)
    Uh..

    KORBEN
    You know you could hurt someone with this puppy..good thing it's not loaded..

    The mugger is lost. He looks at his weapon.

    MUGGER
    It's not?

    KORBEN
    You gotta push the little yellow button...

    Korben points to the button on the side of the gun. The mugger takes his advice.

    MUGGER
    Thanks..

    KORBEN
    You're welcome..

    And with lightning speed, Korben blasts the mugger with a straight right hand, sending him down for the count. Korben retrieves the gun.

    KORBEN ..you know these things are VERY illegal..you could get in a shit load of trouble..I better hang onto it for you..

    As the mugger clears his head, Korben opens a drawer next to him which is full of similar guns! The mugger's eyes pop out of his head. He scampers to his feet and runs off.

    Korben shrugs, exits his apartment, and closes the door. The cat watches a nuclear holocaust on T.V., uninterrupted.
