OK.  What you need to do next is stop talking about it. :) If you
disclose details, you risk ineligibility for patent protection,
depending on how much time elapses between disclosure and the patent
application.

Next up, you need to get a patent lawyer.  And plan on spending about
$20,000 to do everything you need to get a patent.  You need to have
someone do a patent search and offer an opinion as to patentability.
Then you need to pay the attorney fees, filing fees, etc.

Good luck!

Dianne.

Actually the reason I filed the provisional patent is to start talking 
about it. As long as I file for a real patent in the next year I'm good.

Is spamd getting  "-u spamd" or  "--username=spamd" from some other
part of the configuration? In my experience you still need this even if
you start the daemon directly as spamd.
