Re: Docker
Come over to OpenEFA and put that in the feature request. We are developing the long term replacement to EFA at what feels like break neck speed, we will add this. We have a few things yet to do for the main release, but things like this are on our minds as well. Hope to see you there.

Re: Announcing OpenEFA – Continuing the Legacy of the eFa-Project
Agreed. Might have gotten a little bit ahead of myself. That being said, I have done a lot of work on the natural language processing and have integrated it into the efa. So, stay tuned. it is coming soon.

Re: Bad TXREP scores from Sophos infra
Personally not seeing it, but this might help. create a file in /etc/mail/spamassassin/ called sophos_whitelist.cf. The put the content below in the file. Run spamassassin --lint. If no output you are good to restart sparmassassin systemctl restart spamassassin.
