BACbKA's Journal: (rej:articles) SpamBouncer update released

SpamBouncer update is out, albeit half a year late (it was intended to be monthly, and the last release was in mid-October). The tool is really great (thanks to a /. comment by misleb for pointing me to it). The updates list subscription was broken for quite a while, so a /. announcement would be helpful. Great tool, thanks Catherine A. Hampton for making it work!

Highlights: 0) don't forget that the distro .tar doesn't create a subdir 1) the new script is called sb.rc - mind that if you used the sb-new.rc in your .procmailrc! 2) there are additional blacklist checks provided, some of which do amazingly well on my incoming mail - most notably, SPAMCOPCHECK and SPEWSCHECK.

Update (1/Jul/2002): I have since decided to faithfully post on the SpamBouncer freshmeat page about all the updates I learn of from the upstream page, to compensate for the broken updates list. There have been 2 more updates since the one originally mentioned here, and all the three were published on freshmeat. Subscribe to the project's update notification mechanism on freshmeat, and you'll learn about the updates as soon as I do (typically some 3 days later down from their release date).

Update (4/Jul/2004): due to personal reasons, last half a year I couldn't make up with the SB updates tracking. Hopefully, today it's back to normal.

Freshmeat is better for rel. announcements...

After having the submission rejected here, I realized that the project's long-forgotten FreshMeat page would be a more appropriate place for the release announcements. See http://freshmeat.net/projects/spambouncer/
