Marc, a good deal of the 'interest' has to do with your value as perhaps the single most contrarian of posters. You try weird things most of us can't be bothered with. A one-man R&D department - pushing the limits in different *dimension* than others care to work in. But - as the saying goes 'Even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then', so don't give up, and don't go away.... Your 'projects', OTOH, might sit better if your goal and proposed methodology for each was explained in the *first* post, instead being rationed out over half a dozen such, riddle-style. Most of us can do a better - or at least more supportable - job of blocking spam with the stock toolset, let alone SA, so neither should you confuse mere curiosity with adulation. 'spam filters' needn't be 'advanced' or 'sophisticated' - just very, very thorough. The best are built on a *reduced set* of standard acl's. No black-magic required. Exim+Exiscan+SA+ClamAV, to name one common mix, was doing a superb job before you walked in. Still does.
