I'm shocked that these two keywords aren't showing up in recent list
archives.

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.
