So I’ve been getting a lot of spam lately, and decided to add more rules to SpamAssassin. I found two nice solutions for automatically (via cron or the like) download new rulesets. I’ve decided to go with Maxime Ritter’s rule-get<\/a> perl script, which is like apt-get in many ways. It stuck the script in \/usr\/local\/sbin in case I lose it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

To install it on FuguTabetai.com, I had to track down and install the Config::IniFiles module for perl, so I stuck that in \/usr\/lib\/perl5\/site_perl\/5.8.0\/Config\/ and was off an running. After picking through the list of rules available, I’ll set up a cron job to update the lot once a week and restart spamd, and hopefully that will bite into the spam I’ve been recieving lately. I’ll have to add some negative weight rules as well to make sure some stuff does get through though.<\/p>\n
