I remember having bookmarked a bunch of links to a mailserver how-to in Asian that uses DSPAM. Give me a sec.... Yes. This here: http://www.extmail.org/ Their forum is full of articles about how to use DSPAM. For example: http://www.extmail.org/forum/archiver/tid-10393.html And btw there are users using Asian language and DSPAM: http://www.mail-archive.com/dspam-us...@lists.nuclearelephant.com/msg00191.html And regarding "...many Asian people using DSPAM...": No wonder they are not using DSPAM. It's broken for them. Terribly broken. Why should/would they use something that broken? > But sure, in theory we can support those languages by using ICU, and > using that to either tell us the word boundary or to tell us there are none. > IMHO it would be the right thing to do. DSPAM is about statistics and if I apply that on this topic then I can say that +/- 20% of all possible DSPAM users on this planet are using Chinese as their primary language. That is a significant number! We should not ignore them. Just because we have another culture and another language and are using letters instead of symbols does not mean that we are better then they are. A DSPAM user is a DSPAM user. They are our friends. The community part in "DSPAM community project" has a value/meaning.
