Thank you for trying the spasm anti-spam milter! This is a completely
re-written, GPL-licensed version of a milter originally design for an
ISP, in order to give flexible and configurable spam filtering to its
users and hosted domains. spasm, as a rewrite, incorporates many
things that were and/or are not coded into the original proprietary
version (e.g., tagging-only, full virtual domain support), and was
stripped of others (e.g., LDAP support) in order to facilitate a
redesign. Although spasm is still in its infancy, I am confident that
it will mature quickly into a viable tool for server-side spam
filtering, and that new filters added to its code will continue making
it one of the most aggressive spam-fighting tools available. If you
have any problems, please let me know. Any bugs discovered should be
reported to aradia@theasylum.org, preferably along with any
information you might have (ie, the tail end of spasm's log with
DEBUGGING turned on, a stack trace, et cetera), or a patch if you're
so inclined.

This program is completely free to use and mangle, free as in beer and
free as in speech, under the GPL license found in the COPYING file in
this distribution. This is my own small contribution to the free
software community. If anyone's conscience forces sleepless nights
upon them, feel free to send a donation. Any businesses/ISPs which use
this software are particularly encouraged to give a donation, but as
I've already said, this software is free (as in beer) of charge to
use. If anyone locally would like to make a donation, good bourbon and
single malt scotches won't be refused. ;)
