Presumably  in hopes  of later  collecting a\nprocessing fee.\n\nSingle-person editing works, collaborative editing and merges scales better.\nSo here is an attempt of making a 'wider' list.  Who knows, we may even end\nup with a new plug-in just how the some of the filters are already\ndistributed.\n\n### What This Is Not (Yet?)\n\nA grand plan to integrate with\n[spamassassin channels and rule updates](https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RuleUpdates). I\nam at this point unsure how active these are. I think my (Debian/Ubuntu)\nLinux servers actually fetch rule updates automagically. But I have no idea\nabout the process in which those rules get formed and validated.\n\n### Status\n\nAs a start, I just dropped (relevant parts of) my current\n`~/.spamassassin/user_prefs` for others to see, copy, pull-request against.\nI have not really thought through yet where to take take this, but as a start\nI figured I could least make the list public.  With that, the process goes\nfrom 'one person editing one file' to _maybe_ more than one person doing\nso. \n\n### License\n\nGPL (\u003e= 2)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Feddelbuettel%2Ffilter-journal-spam","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Feddelbuettel%2Ffilter-journal-spam","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Feddelbuettel%2Ffilter-journal-spam/lists"}
