Ask Jonathan Zdziarski

You may recognize the name Jonathan Zdziarski from a recent Slashdot book review of his book Ending Spam. Aside from his DSPAM spam filter Jonathan has also contributed several other projects to the open source community under the GNU General Public License. These projects include Verizon-Compatible SMIL Multimedia Gateway, The Reactive Automated Blackhole List Server, Apache DoS Evasive Maneuvers Module, and several others. Want to know how to effectively contribute projects to the open source community? Curious to ask another programmer about his history? Now is the time to ask. Moderators will select the top few questions that we will forward on to Jonathan sometime tomorrow. The answers to the questions will be displayed next Tuesday when we will encourage Jonathan to participate in the discussion as time permits.

Jonathan,

Hanging, drawing and quartering, firing squad, dragged over hot coals, disemboweling with a rusty scythe, electic chair and forced slashdot metamoderation too harsh a sentence for those spam and collaborate with spammers?

the scythe is corroding quite nicely out back ...

my thesis

Ok, quick and easy question. For my master's thesis, I am testing some additions and tweaks to the common bayesian spam filter. Without revealing my plans... what are some tweaks or additions you would like to see tested? Thanks.
