Yeah as gentoo user, I say gentoo is a great community for getting some user
support for this project. Hell, I am running gentoo-sparc on a Sun e450 and
dspam runs on that with postfix =)

Thanks for all the great posts about the dspam fork. I'll stick my hand
up and say that I'm ready to setup sf.net and fork this project right
away. I'm going to do this for the reasons: we can't commit back, track
changes or get a response from Sensory networks.
If I'm offending anyone please say now, I'm not here to offend I just
want to help.
The short term goals will be based around a place to track and fix bugs,
improve existing docs and generally reawaken the dspam project.
features etc can come later.
The most important bit to start is the new project name. Any
suggestions welcome (Mine aren't very creative)
dspam-new?
open-dspam?
de-spam?
death-droid?

Be sure that everyone using DSPAM and capable of coding or doing

I'd say this swings it if similar responses are found from other
communities (or if other communities aren't sufficiently active with
dspam to voice an opinion, as I suspect is the case with Debian at
present). If the active developers and the distros follow the fork,
it'll work. If not, it won't.
The first step has to be to incorporate patches and get into a
"release often" position. Too many forks (imho) fail by starting out
with grand ideas about the future direction of the project.
As far as I can tell (correct me if I'm wrong?) there is no way at
present for the community to contribute to dspam releases, as the
current owners are not doing anything with it so there's nowhere to
send patches to that could be formally adopted? If so that's what
forks are for. There's already enough for at least a new 3.8.x
release, and it can't currently happen without a fork.
