Spamd is very tempting idea and from a system resources point of view
very efficient.
Though If it was implemented as a plugin would it not automatically be
called by spamd ?
And if that's the case, a plugin would allow wider a selection of OS's
to be able to use it and avoid issues such as how a particular OS stores
its syslog info, etc...
Plus if the DB schema was well written it would be much more database
transparent as well, meaning it would be easier to use other databases
apart from MySQL.

I'll have to examine the data stored in the $permsgstatus object to see
if it currently stores all the data needed.
Then it might be fairly easy to add objects methods to export the
remaining values.

Please bear with me if I ask a lot of questions, as I've only been a
spamassassin sysadmin before now.
