Wed May 8 15:27:18 PDT 2002 — SpamAssassin updates: We’ve just upgraded SpamAssassin to the latest CVS snap release of 2.21. As always, there are new scores and rules which should improve it’s performance. This version also enables the use of the DCC (Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse) which is a network of clients and servers that track checksums related to about 1 million emails per day. These checksums are then used by SA to gauge the ‘bulkiness’ of a message. We’ve had DCC enabled in our SA test environment for a few weeks with excellent results. For more information about the DCC please see www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/ and news://news.sonic.net/sonic.antispam All Sonic.net accounts, including mailboxes and addon dialups, can turn SpamAssassin on with the SpamCan membertool. -Kelsey
