* [set::spamfilter::except](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Set_block#set::spamfilter::except) is now a [Mask item](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Mask_item) instead of only a list of exempted targets. A warning is created to existing users along with a suggestion of how to use the new syntax. Technically, this is not really new functionality as all this was already possible via the [Except ban block](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Except_ban_block) with type spamfilter, but it is more visible/logical to have this also.
