Interesting concept, and looks good as an alternative to the 'imap way'.
(especially with sites that are running imap's without 'public folder'
capabilities or only pop3)
Since this is google/summer of code stuff, its licensed under BSD2.0,
right?
If someone wanted to add on to code, say to add 'whitelist sender',
'blacklist sender', and 'report spam', the sources will be published,
right?
One immediate concern I have is that the 'username' is
spoofable,hackable, forgeable, and that is just on the TRUSTED internal
side! Maybe a 'sa-coachd' that forces a check for a username/password,
gee I guess it could be complicated.
I think the 'report spam' option is supported by spamd, or does this
version just affect the local Bayesian?
As an example, the whitelist/blacklist sender would be implemented in
the
--add-addr-to-whitelist=addr Add addr to persistent address
whitelist
--add-addr-to-blacklist=addr Add addr to persistent address
blacklist
--remove-addr-from-whitelist=addr Remove addr from persistent
address list
Options, right?
Or for some of us who use amavisd-new, maybe options for that? (we don't
run spamd)
