Thanks for the offer Mike. At present, there are two things I have planned
for myself to play with in Mahogany. I want to have spam filtering an
integral part - not via proxies etc A real button in the program situation,
not something you have to use an external program or browser to run. Now I
know that the current 0.65 will come with a nice set of inbuilt text
filters but it is not a complete solution. I like the concept of something
like spambayes built in. Buttons that say this is spam that sort of thing.
I would like to offer an alternative antispam solution. The system is camram. It currently incorporates three defenses against Spam and one of the defenses also serves as a remedy for problems with Bayesian and other content filters.
The initial foundations of camram was based in the world of hashcash, a core component of sender pays antispam systems developed by Adam Back. simple sender pays systems with postage due notices don't work well in the real world so I added white listing and an enhanced Bayesian style discriminator (CRM114) to the mix. The end result is when you e-mail to someone who also uses stamps, you never need to worry about your e-mail being trapped because it had features that looked like Spam. Also, if you e-mail someone frequently, your mail will always get through because of the traffic based white list. And if the mail falls into me the category, it's no worse off than it would have been with a traditional filter. In the future, that will change for the better with the targeted postage due notice system.
I've been looking for an e-mail clients to integrate it into and if someone will work with me on it, we can integrate it into mahogany. kept since you don't want to use proxies (a wise choice) and are trying to use python, camram would fit in relatively well. It would need to tap into the received data stream and the sending data stream in order to do filtering and appropriate stamp generation. We would also need to rewrite the user interface to the spamtrap and the configuration variables unless you want to keep using the Web interface.
http://camram.sourceforge.net will lead you to the cvs archive and I highly recommend using the cvs archive as the current tar balls are out of date. I'm waiting for some contributions before finishing up 0.2.
