RFS: spampd (one-time upload)



Hi.

I'm since my original sponsor is currently ill (tensonitis) and can't do
the upload for a few weeks to come, I would like someone else to sponsor
this upload.

Though the upload to unstable is an update to a new upstream version, it
mainly consists of a security upgrade (bug#332259). The package is
available at https://mail.incase.de/spampd/sid/. A pure security update
(for sarge) has also been prepared and is available at
https://mail.incase.de/spampd/sarge-security/ though the upload to
stable/security hasn't been approved by the security team yet.

Description: spamassassin based SMTP/LMTP proxy daemon
 spampd is an SMTP/LMTP server designed to be hooked into the
 MTA processing chain (e.g. as a content filter). It is
 written in Perl and uses the Net::Server framework. It is
 intended to provide spam filtering at the system level (i.e.
 ususally for all users). If you rely on per-user configuration
 or per-user Bayes databases, spampd is not for you.
 .
 The major advantage of spampd over plain SpamAssassin (both
 directly and through spamd) is that it doesn't need to load
 all needed perl modules on every invocation or spawn
 a C programme for every mail it receives. Compared to using
 spamc/spamd, spampd can usually provide a 25% performance
 with local-only tests.
 .
 The advantage of spampd over amavisd-new is that it uses the
 original SpamAssassin header tags, which are more verbose than
 the tags which amavisd-new provides. This allows easier
 filtering in the mail client and easier tuning of SpamAssassin.
