Yes, I think so, other than the fact that it's pronounced db-ex-pimp.  8-)

Um.  I've been thinking for a long time that pop3proxy should be renamed
to sb-server, because it hosts a lot more than just the POP3 proxy (it
includes the SMTP proxy and the web interface, and possibly more in
future).  And you can quite sensibly run it with no POP3 proxies
configured.

In an ideal world I'd incorporate hammiesrv into pop3proxy and rename the
whole thing to sb-server, but there may be no time for that (it would mean
rewriting hammiesrv to work with asyncore).  I'll try to find time for it.

If I can't combine the two in time, how about renaming pop3proxy to
sb-server, and hammiesrv to sb-xmlrpcserver?  It's clumsy, but it will go
away eventually.

> hammiefilter.py    renamed to sb-?

sb-filter.py is my vote.

> mailsort.py        renamed to sb-?

sb-mailsort.py?  I don't use it - does anyone that uses it have a better
name?

> proxy-tee.py       renamed to sb-?

Difficult.  For those not familiar with proxytee, it acts as a procmail
filter that uploads a message to the web interface for later training (and
doesn't change the message in any way).  It has nothing to do with
proxying - the only reason the word 'proxy' appears is that you have to
run pop3proxy.py to get the web interface...  sb-upload.py?
sb-web-upload.py?  sb-web-train.py?  sb-web-store.py?  sb-add-review.py?
sb-train-later.py?

Skip?  Any preferences?  (Or are you still trying to find the kettle? 8-)
