Is cleanfeed still relevant in 2025? Should I attempt to set it up? In

Welcome back :)

Cleanfeed has its problems in I guess some default state classifying some
messages as binary when they are not, mostly this is if the body (not
headers) of articles have various ipv6 addresses in it, it is rare-ish
and doesnt always trip so you might put 50 of them in one post that
passes or a post with 2 in it and get a 439.

I've not seen Steve post in over a year, so chances are he's giving it no
love and concentrating on life instead.

The warning aside, you do need some basic filtering for the blatently
obvious stuff, I'd add cleanfeed anyway as some filtering is better than
none, and maybe you can see where it falsely triggers on binaries and fix
it :)

I use DNews (yes there are still some of us around) and as its filter
compiles internally and written different it's no good as an example for
INN users.
