[Xitami-Dev] How to build a spam filter?

I'll take a look at it.  No need to reinvent the wheel if it does what I need.

Does this replace OpenKernel?

Great, downloading them now.  THANK YOU.

http://www.digitalmars.com/ would be a good one to support.

One thing we obviously have a philosophical disagreement on is using the words 
'Realtime' and 'Windows' together.  :-)  My current project at work is a 
power control for a several hundred ton machine.  I'm dealing in micro 
seconds.  Now that is 'Realtime'.

BTW, http://htmlpp.org is dead, as that is one of the links I just looked at 
on your site.

I use Genpage old and crude by todays standard but I've not found any thing 
else that has the features that I need.  Mostly the glossary and template 
concept so I can build multiple sites with different look out of the same 
content files.

Hopfully Gurudoc can incoperate some of those concepts.

I'll try to give it a shot when ever thing is available.
