1 Heya,
2
3 The upstream rules_du_jour folk have had issues over the last few months
4 with DDoS and other attacks. Additionally, the nature of their original
5 update mechanism causes a lot of traffic.
6
7 Everybody that is using rules_du_jour is strongly encouraged to move to
8 using the sa-update mechanism that is included with recent versions of
9 SpamAssassin.
10
11 Here is a guide to using SARE rulesets with sa-update:

14 mail-filter/spamassassin-ruledujour will be p.masked on August 4th, and
15 removed one month thereafter.
