Antispam updates?

Can we please have some new antispam definitions please? Starting to get a lot of spam coming through and users are beginning to whine.

Thanks.

I already got a second one...

According to  http://www.rulesemporium.com this List is a daily generated top 200 Openrelay List from SpamCop...

Hopefully Astaro adds a few more Rules from there...

The other "build in" Rules are visible in WebAdmin under "System" / "Upd2Date" with the "view" Button behind "Spam Protection". They are old but still valid.

EDIT:

...and now some more Rulesets apeared!!!!

Code:

70_sare_adult.cf
70_sare_stocks.cf
88_FVGT_body.cf
70_sare_spoof.cf
88_FVGT_uri.cf

Will that make the difference? Next Week will tell...

Greetings-

I have a license from when SPAM filtering was included, valid through April 2007. As such, I get the following message on my System --> Up2date Service --> Pattern Up2date section:
Your license for Pattern Up2Date
is not present or has expired.

Right now /etc/mail/spamassassin shows the following:

70_sare_evilnum0.cf -> /etc/mail/spamassassin/rulesdujour/70_sare_evilnum0.cf
70_sare_random.cf -> /etc/mail/spamassassin/rulesdujour/70_sare_random.cf
init.pre
local.cf
rulesdujour
tripwire.cf -> /etc/mail/spamassassin/rulesdujour/tripwire.cf
v310.pre

How am I going to get newly updated patterns? Can I do this manually? Or does Astaro know to update them automatically based on my license when I run up2date?

Please advise.

Best regards,
Claud1e

Simon-

But it hasn't expired, and doesn't until April of next year.

So, are my SPAM defs being updated when my system up2date is run?

I purchased Astaro during the early 4.x releases with 3 years of up2date.  Back then all SPAM protection was included.  So am I not then entitled to updates until my license expires?

Thanks for your input.

Regards,
claud1e
