I think this is mainly for the local CSuite devel. team, sorry about the mass spamming.

If people would like to try [g filter] from a throw-away account on landon, you can see 
the beginnings of a spam filter.  This is in a very pre-alpha stage of development.  
Currently, there is a global "rules-file" (which means users have no choice of what to 
filter) and the interface is neolithic, but it's a start.

On friday, I flooded this machine with 20K some odd messages over a period of a couple 
hours, and the load never rose above 7, (which is high yes but not for 20,000 emails...)
Which indicates to me that this could be valuable on a system that is willing to trade 
some CPU cycles for less spam.
