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 bugreport@theasylum.org, preferably along
with any information you might have (ie, the tail end of spasm's log with
DEBUGGING turned on), 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 per-user donation, but as I've already
said, this software is free (as in beer) of charge to use. Donations may
be made to my paypal account under "aradia@theasylum.org". If anyone locally
would like to make a donation, Knob Creek bourbon and single malt scotches
won't be refused. ;)
