hi ya dan

thanx for the feedback, but this is NOT trying to detect spam...

idea is to record all "known-to-spam" and use the collected
database as a tool in the courts etc... that the spammer
sent the same spam jibberish to n-tuple users

rbls and blacklists are good ...but not useful in courts...

just wondering why mj can not see the incoming /var/spool/mail/foo
while its running but can see the the mailbox  afterward

oh well
