We are developing an innovative new email client, NewMonix. Like any email product, it needs to deal with spam effectively. We view spamassassin as one of the leading open source spam projects and wanted to determine if any of the contributors would be able to help us. We're looking for a contractor to integrate spam filtering into our email client. I contacted Justin and he suggested that I post to the list. Our product has a Java back-end with a qt front-end, so we'd prefer to use those technologies rather than adding Perl to the mix. I've attached a description of what we're looking for in a contractor. For those interested in applying, please respond to Teresa Stancato ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). If you'd like to comment or have questions for the list, please cc my email address since I only read the archives occasionally.
