I believe that's actually www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm - the .html
is 404.

Use with care.  Some spam rbls are overly zealous, and often block out
whole netblocks just because one IP has been reported as an offender.

You have to subscribe - the list is now closed because the nature of
the traffic necessitates piping the list mail around SA.  Because of
this, spammers always knew they could get by spamassassin by sending
to the list.

Definitely.  And you might also want to keep a spam "sampler" around
for just such a case.  This can be used to get your bayes learner back
up to speed a little quicker.  IIRC, the bayes learner needs a minimum
number of messages to learn from before it will kick in and start
working.
