[Spambayes] a server-side filter based on spambayes

[Simone Piunno]

Hi guys, 

I'm working on a server-side anti-spam filter based on spambayes, codenamed 
TUGAST.  I've started a derived project because I have different goals than 
the main spambayes package:

 - primarily serving geek with shell access to the mail server (or ISPs
   managing value-added email service for their customers)
 - filtering server-side to reduce bandwith waste
 - a CLI and email based UI, remotely operatable
 - easy installation and configuration

Conversely, I completely give up some spambayes feature:

 - portability on non unix systems
 - choice over different persistency layers

I have already some working code, implementing the following:

 - a multi-threaded daemon managing a BDB4 word probability database, 
   transactionally, and accepting orders by HTTP over a unix socket
 - a C client passing messages to the daemon and receiving them back
   marked as ham/unsure/spam.  This is intended to be spawned by 
   procmail and/or maildrop.
 - an email interface for training, accepting messages as rfc822 attachments,
   also intended to be spawned by maildrop/procmail
 - a shell administrative tool.

You can find it here:

I'm open for discussion, help, critics, everything.

Cheers
  Simone
