SpamAssassin turns 3.0

I'm happy to see that SpamAssassin has shipped v3.0. It includes a feature I have long desired: scoring based on the IPs of URLs included in the message: if I get anything containing http://asdhaslhdaskljhd.teenage-goat-sex.biz/ then I almost certainly don't want to see it.

SpamAssassin already made it hard for spammers to use keywords like "viagra"; now they shouldn't be able to point to sites about them either. "Tell me, what good is an open proxy when you are unable to speak?" [*]

Well done, guys.

(I am kind of sad that they removed the cute cartoon ninjas from the logo; they were about half the reason I originally installed it.)
