I like that, but I hesitated to mention it b/c it's kinda long.  For sure,
it's the most obvious name that doesn't require massaging the name to cut it
in size.

I don't like "killspam" b/c it doesn't quite convey what A-S-K does, and
it'd be unfair to "hog the generic name" on a system that may have N
anti-spam packages.

You know what, I looked at my redhat machine, and I see a bunch of long
names of programs.  So I suggest we call it active-spam-killer, in a
tradition that follows many other programs.  I've attached below the list of
names of all redhat9 programs in /usr/{bin,sbin} that are as long or longer
in name than "active-spam-killer" (18 chars).

In sum, I like, in order:

1. active-spam-killer (most preferable)
2. asker
3. activespamkiller

Erez.
