Note that you should be familiar with shell scripting and reading SMTP
headers, *and* should be very aware that you *WILL* shoot yourself in
the foot if you run this without reading the docs.  Exempt your mailing
lists before you piss off a lot of folks.

Otherwise:  it generates spam reports at the rate of 8-20 seconds per,
and is designed to run over Maildir folder formats.  Part of output can
be found by searching my name in Google Groups
news.admin.net-abuse.sightings.

If you do run this, I'd be very interested in seeing your spam-source
stats.  See my homepage for details.


Peace.
