This week we have upgraded the spam filtering software on our email servers from SpamAssassin 3.1.3 to SpamAssassin 3.1.6. We also added the OpenProtect SpamAssassin channel to our updated rules. This gives us the SARE rules which should help us catch more of the image based stock spams people see these days.
If you are getting spam in your email inbox and have not yet turned on your Gustavus spam filter, I would like to encourage you to do so. If you do have the Gustavus spam filter enabled, be sure to check your Filtered_by_GAC email folder from time to time to make sure it didn’t catch any email that is not spam.
