Fine except for "users [...] should be [...] suggested"; "suggested"
doesn't fit, but "advised" does (you "suggest stuff to people", but
"advise people of stuff", so they passivise differently).

If we're going to mention Paul Graham's article at all, it seems to
me we should mention its *title*, too. I'd heard of that, but I'd
forgotten who wrote it...
This package provides a spam filter based on the article 'A Plan for Spam',
by Paul Graham. It uses a database (either BerkeleyDB or a simpler hash
file) to store one- and two-word phrases.
(Oh, and s/provide/provides/, and extra hyphens.)

Do people say "a spam"? To me it's a non-count noun: I'd say "may
indicate spam".
