Current rules for SpamAssassin from schaal @it

Current rules for SpamAssassin from schaal @itWe regularly publish new rules for the spamfilter SpamAssassin of the Apache Software Foundation Apache Software Foundation.

Most of our rules have a score of 5.

Our rules can be used free of charge. For this, only our channel has to be added to the SpamAssassin-Config or our script has to be installed. Please do not forget to restart SpamAssassin after installing or updating rules.

SpamAssassin uses DNS checks to detect new rules so that the script can be called every hour or at least dayly without generating a significant load.

Install our ruleset:

sa-update --nogpg --channel sa.schaal-it.net

To keep the rules up-to-date, just install a simple shell-script in /etc/cron.hourly:

cd /etc/cron.hourly && wget sa.schaal-it.net/sa-update && chown root.root sa-update && chmod 755 sa-update

This will install this script:

#!/bin/sh
# schaal @it
#
# Simple script to update SpamAssassin

SYSLOG_TAG=sa-update

compile=0

logger -d -t $SYSLOG_TAG "Start SA-Update"

sa-update --nogpg
retval="$?"
if [ $retval -eq 0 ]; then compile=1; fi


sa-update --nogpg --channel updates.spamassassin.org
retval="$?"
if [ $retval -eq 0 ]; then compile=1; fi

sa-update --nogpg --channel sa.schaal-it.net
retval="$?"
if [ $retval -eq 0 ]; then compile=1; fi

if [ $compile -eq 1 ]; then

	sa-compile
	/etc/init.d/amavis restart
else
	logger -d -t $SYSLOG_TAG "No SA-Update found"
fi
