Phishing Update Service

[Jerry Benton]

Phil,

If you would like to contribute a better update script, I will be happy to add it. You could also just update your current script to point to the one at phishing.mailborder.com. Alternatively, you can continue to use the current MailScanner default.

In short, I am the only one actively contributing to the MailScanner project with time, resources, and funds at the moment. If you have a better solution, give it to me or send it to this list. Simply telling me “it sucks” doesn’t really accomplish or improve anything.
