Just an FYI, an interesting spam-filter can be made easily by searching your mail for web links. Take the hostname and find the IP, then lookup the IP in a DNS block-list, such as sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org. By only looking at links you reduce the chance of false positives to nearly 0, and its a bit less CPU hungry than other methods like spamassasin. Nearly 100% effective, and when used with a local caching DNS server such as djb's dnscache, its really fast. So (to get back on topic) this would make a great addition to MiNT-capable email clients. -- Evan
