ANNOUNCE: SpamAssassin 3.1.0 available!

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Julian,

See www.hashcash.org.  This appears to be a Useless Feature (tm) of
SpamAssassin, since these SA rules got used zero times in the last
two weeks on my busy mail server.  I don't think this ever caught
on with the Big ISPs.

New mail server, hunh?  We thought you had been kidnapped by Russian
mob spammers.  We were all getting ready to ransom you with our
PayPal accounts, to get you back.
