This is a new release of the popular cleanfeed usenet spam filter written by Jeremy Nixon. I will continue releasing new versions until I get tired or somebody else will step forward. There is no real documentation, so if you never used cleanfeed please download the original package from http://www.exit109.com/~jeremy/news/cleanfeed.html and enjoy trying to understand what changed. If you already have an existing cleanfeed installation please double check your cleanfeed.local, because it may not be compatibile with this release. cleanfeed.conf does not exist anymore, the bad_cancel_paths config option is now read from a configuration file and most local_* functions changed their name. Please read the CHANGES file for details about these and other things. When in doubt, check the source code. In the tools directory there are some files you don't need to know about. If you want to help with cleanfeed developement, please subscribe to the cleaners@lists.bofh.it mailing list: echo subscribe | mail cleaners-request@lists.bofh.it http://lists.bofh.it/listinfo/cleaners Even if I use this code on my production servers I still consider it a bit experimental, so I suggest you don't bet your whole business on it. ========================= IMPORTANT! - READ CAREFULLY ======================== The files bad_* and cleanfeed.local.sample are just examples. They are taken from one of my servers when I build this source package and may be out of date when you download it, or maybe they merely represent policy decisions you do not agree with. Please read them and be sure to understand each single line before trying to install them, or you may end up rejecting legitimate articles. ========================= IMPORTANT! - READ CAREFULLY ======================== I want to thank Jeremy Nixon who wrote the original program and gracefully answered my questions during development and Barry Bouwsma, who inspired my work with his own qleanpheed.
