Fri Nov 10 14:24:55 PST 2006 — SpamAssassin Upgrades and Changes. Over the last couple of weeks we began testing a new SpamAssassin module that uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to scan attached images for known spam phrases resulting in a silent deployment last week. So far it, along with another 3rd party rule and score set, has proven to be very affective at catching most of the spam that was leaking through with an insignificant number of false positive matches. Also, in response to a user’s request, the ‘Drop Blacklisted Messages’ feature now also will drop messages matching Subject and ‘User in Blacklist To’ lists. -Kelsey
