Wouldn't it be more productive to the community to work with SURBL to enable the centralized storage of these hashes? Or perhaps with Razor2? I'm not an expert on Razor, but my limited understanding of it is that it generates hashes of (portions of) message bodies and stores that hash for future comparison. It would seem that once someone decide something is spam, one could take your hash and wrap a minimal message around it and report THAT to razor. Then your engine could examine an image, generate your hash, and wrap it in the same minimal message and Query Razor. Presumably getting a hit. No local database is needed, because a world wide one would be substituted. That way, if you get this spam and report it, It will already be known by the time I get the spam. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
