I am releasing another version of my All-In-One AntiSpam Filter. It is based on several different filters, but primarily the X-Ray Security Filter. I removed some more of the rules that were no longer getting hits and added a few new ones. I am also repacking the adult/child porn filters from the X-ray security filter for use with my filter. As usual, be sure to remove all your old filters first (including old versions of this filter) before importing this one, otherwise there will be a ton of duplicates and it could slow down your searches.

By default this blocklist filters all ".wm", ".wma", ".wmv", ".mov", ".vbs", ".zip", ".url", ".htm", and ".html" files as well as bad IP addresses, bad terms(shareazav4/v5/v6), and bad hashes. You need to be using 2.4.0.0 or later in order to take full advantage of this filter so it is highly recommended that you upgrade

I finally found the time to release an updated filter. I assure you, this one was worth the wait. This new filter includes a bunch of new IP addresses submitted by diztrancer and ivan386's top spammers list. I removed many of the IP addresses that were no longer getting hits to keep it lean-and-mean, and I created a whole bunch of complex new regexp filters to take care of all that pesky G1 spam (ringtones, radio mix, instrumentals, etc). Once I have collected some more data I will remove some of the hash filters and regexps as well for the next release (probably not for another 3 months). I have added a fixed source to the magnet link so even if there aren't very many sources for the main filter you should still be able to get it quite easily.

Thanks to diztrancer and ivan386 for your input, and I encourage everyone to continue to give feedback and share your filters with the community.
