I am creating this for use in Mailborder, but will make the database available for MailScanner. In order to be used in MailScanner someone would have to write the code to use it. (I have enough to do.) Once I create a base structure of what the database would look like, I will send out an update here with a link to the SQLite database. Not sure how this would impact scanning speed at this time. It would of course depend on how big that database gets.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The reason why I am looking into this …<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I contacted Openphish about licensing cost to get their database.
