Sounds like bayes.
I heard loud and clear "seeking investment"

And most impotant of all, it does nothing to stop spam beyond its own
boarders.

"Existing anti-spam software filters out spam whereas ours puts up a
firewall, stopping all email traffic and only allowing real mail through,"
said Mr Sullivan.

Oh my!! Well, we could all do that in 5 minutes. Gee I wonder if that is a
good idea? So kind of like an RBL only before the end of the data command?
Hmm....gee....never heard that before :) 

Or does it process the whole thing, then what? /dev/null?

I'm starting to sound more jaded everyday :) But I see absolutely nothing
new here at all. Maybe one of the SA devs knows more? And if that is his
real world FP rate, then I'm the lost Anastasia of Russia!
