Description Steven Haigh 2014-07-23 00:25:56 UTC

Spamassassin 3.3.x is now unmaintained.

A major release is supported for no less than 6 months after the release of the next major release.

This means that as of July 27, 2010, all versions prior to 3.3.0 are considered unsupported and when 3.4.0 is released, 3.3.X will be supported for at least 6 more months.

Is there an upgrade plan to head to 3.4.0?

Comment 1 Steven Haigh 2014-07-23 00:27:09 UTC

As a side note, it also seems v3.3.1 is out of date - v3.3.2 is the last v3.3 release in the 3.3 series.

Supported by who? By upstream?

Do you need specific features? Are they significant for your business? If yes please use our support channel (http://support.redhat.com/).

I hope we backport all the security patches.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 transitioned to the Production 3 Phase on May 10, 2017.  During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.

The official life cycle policy can be reviewed here:

This issue does not appear to meet the inclusion criteria for the Production Phase 3 and will be marked as CLOSED/WONTFIX.
