Thanks for the note, Hugo. I've cc'd spambayes-dev to my reply. Others there (assuming there still are others) might have some suggestions. SpamBayes has been dormant for quite some time, as you observed. I'm not sure what you mean by "dead" though. I'm not sure what's to be done about that. There are a few people who try to answer questions about it on the main list ([email protected]), but most of those questions come from users of the Windows version. I no longer use it myself anymore, except on the mail.python.org site. That instance hasn't been updated in quite awhile either. I'm not sure what an official "declare the end of the Spambayes project" would mean. Do you want to take it over? Assuming you've been maintaining it for Debian (I had no idea any Linux distros included it), I don't think it would be a big deal to get you added as an official maintainer. I'm not sure I've seen any bug reports, and like I said, I had no idea it was included in any Linux distributions. Do you have specific bugs to report?
