[spambayes-dev] Fwd: [Spambayes] SpamBayes: sponsorship accepted!

[Tim Stone]

Ok, guys, this showed up on the spambayes list.  These guys WANT to send 
us money... but it's checques.  We're gonna have to manage this kind of 
thing.  Since I've not contributed much other than opinions for a while 
now, I'll be glad to administer this kind of thing, if that's good with 
everyone.
