Rise in Viagra spam

"Since a lot of people are still using antidrug.cf, I'm making a public

announcement here to clarify.

 

Antidrug.cf is deprecated and obsolete for all users of SpamAssassin 3.0.0 or

higher. These rules are now a part of the standard SA distribution, and any

improvements will likely happen directly in the SA project and not on the .cf file."

-- Matt Kettler, the author of antidrug.cf

Are you saying that are included in the spamassassin base rules or Rules Du Jour?   Rules Du Jour still puts the antidrug.cf file as a recommended other.

I don't think you should be running antidrug with spamassassin 3.0.0 or
better. Most of it was included, and adding that .cf messes with the scoring.
