I think this would be a wonderful thing. A while back, I developed some scripts to generate graphs and reports from my log files; I've been meaning to add them to the spamdyke distribution but haven't gotten around to it yet (they need to be tidied up and documented). I'd be happy to contribute them if anyone is up to the challenge.
One suggestion -- when it comes time to decide how to distribute the collection of scripts, please label them so it's obvious which version of spamdyke they apply to. Something like "for spamdyke 3.x" would be enough since I always update the major version every time I make changes that aren't backwards compatible. -- Sam Clippinger Andrew Liles wrote: > Harald Hinz offered a script for blacklisting in December. > Others have also talked about offering scripts. > > I am thinking of putting some time into a script, I have two questions > for the community: > > 1.
