Well, I don’t know how easy that would be either.  These were both, I believe, written by Gilles.  I would appreciate your input Gilles.  I see both of these particularly tools, opensmtpd filters, are Golang only and require nothing beyond the standard library.  It would be ugly, but I might be able to hack them into my system with the go fork you mention above.  Whether or not I _want_ to is more complicated.  :-/

Okay.  Thanks.  I’m new to OpenBSD, and I know some other BSD’s work based on people building and supplying packages, which sometimes take longer on some of the less used arch’s.
