I may still have an account (username `nix'): but that was a long, long
time ago --- pre-Apache, I think --- and I'm not sure if it's still
there.
The hiatus has ended as I've found time to automate spam-corups
de-virus, de-bounce, and de-duping at last.
I'm still not sure how intensely to de-dupe: should I zap articles with
identical bodies? identical bodies except for MIME headers? identical
bodies except for identifiable bayes poison? Until the obfu rules came
in, I'd have said the latter... but now I'm just zapping articles with
identical bodies and rule hits, as the obfu rules make it very likely
that two articles differing only in bayes poison will end in different
rule-hit partitions anyway.)

Update docs, please! I've still got to work out what --reuse is for:
reusing hits on net rules from pre-existing spam-status lines? (If so,
how does this cater for newly added RBLs/URIBLs?)
