About database downloading

[aj3423]

Hi,

Came across this discussion about intergrating database downloading in SpamBlocker.
Previously it's not recommended due to limited hardware resources, how about now? Can I integrate it now? Or is it still not recommended?

Thanks.

PhoneBlock offers this download - for the service it's not optimal, but if people want it, you may give it to them...

Please make sure to randomize the synchronization time to distribute the load evenly.

Then it won't be added to the presets. Users will still be able to find and manually import it from the wiki, starting with a smaller user base and we'll see how it goes.

Please make sure to randomize the synchronization time to distribute the load evenly.

By default, it'll be scheduled as "periodically 23 hours", so the first sync happens when the user enables it and the subsequent sync time shifts slightly everyday..

And I'll make sure to report the number back when a reporting API is configured.
