New Milter coming

[Alex Neuman van der Hans]

I'd love to test it; it would be excellent if combined efforts from 
several spamtraps could be combined in ONE dnsbl. I could create a 
country-specific DNSBL which I'd be willing to host myself for the 
Republic of Panama, although I *have* been getting a lot of Guatemalan 
spam for no apparent reason :-)
