The Brain{Storm,Dump}

Wiki Markup_ This is a page for [SpamAssassin] developers and other interested parties to collaboratively jot down some ideas. Some of these might evolve into real code one day others might stay here forever. But as long as they are here, they are generally up for adaption and proof-of-concept implementations are welcome. Actual feature-requests should still go to \[http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/ Bugzilla\]. If you write down an idea, try to think of all the pros and cons which come to your mind. And don't forget to mark your submissions with your name_
