Last month, Paul Graham published a paper, "A Plan for Spam", at http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html . Weeks later, Eric S Raymond's "bogofilter" was born (http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/bogofilter/), and it looks like it may be a killer ap for spam control. Because it wants high speed access to its data, bogofilter has been built to use Judy (http://www.sourcejudy.org), a set of C libraries that maintain large arrays with great speed and memory efficiency. Judy's source has not been ported to FreeBSD. It works in hpux, it apparently works in Linux, but I am not C jockey enough to port it myself. I'm sure it would be a well loved port, even if only for bogofilter. Any takers? Bogofilter is ALMOST sexy enough to make me switch my mail servers over to Linux. And being one straw away from a broken back is not comfy. -- Paul Chvostek Operations / Abuse / Whatever +1 416 598-0000 it.canada - hosting and development http://www.it.ca/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
