History

Much of the content of spamassassin-maint originated with spamassassin's daily cron script, originally written by Duncan Findlay <[email protected]> and subsequently modified by Noah Meyerhans <[email protected]>. It was converted to a standalone program to facilitate its use outside of cron.

From spamassassin 4.0.1-5 in Debian 13 (Trixie). Parsed by carta from the page's man source.
