The developer of camram (now called "twopenny blue" [1]) wants the
below. It is most likely looking like volunteer work, but there's
some braggin rights involved. Anybody interested, contact me offlist.

[1] Look it up, it's a rather cool name. But even cooler, to my mind,
is the fact that this was coded almost entirely using speech recognition.
udhay, thanks for taking on a small part of this quest.
What I need is an estimate on price and time to create two anti-spam
related plug-ins. One is for Outlook (first priority), the other is
for Thunderbird (would be nice only after Outlook plug-in
works). These plug-ins will be released as open source.
budget discussion is currently up in the air. It's more likely to
be an honorarium than full compensation but, it doesn't hurt to
ask. The worst that will happen is I will be forced to say "sorry,
no". No matter what the money is, you will have my undying
gratitude and I will buy you a nice meal if you ever make it to
Boston. (my definition of nice of course :-)
What the plug-in must do:
When activated by the user, the plug-in looks at the current
message, extract a custom header from the message, and then deliver
that header to the twopenny blue antispam system. The exact
mechanism for delivery is not nailed down. The simplest form I can
think of is encoding the header as a URL get argument and delivering
via ssl+http. Success or failure would be returned from the http
query. On success, the message would be moved to the trash box, on
failure, the user would get a dialog box telling them of the failure.
preferences available to the user would include:
domain name or IP address of twopenny blue system
"junk" message mailbox (default trash)
I think that's about it. If you have any questions, please don't
hesitate to ask.

Speech-recognition in use. It makes mistakes, I correct some.
