The answer is simple, is for my final project.

I'm doing my final project, a Video On Demand Software for use on a unix
box and one part of the project is the Anti Spam Mail Protocol.

This idea is to prevent the Spam in the Client box and to reduce the
traffic of spam over the net.

Why re-invent the wheel? well, when the POP and SMTP protocol where
design it wasn't more SPAM but actually the spam is the 80% of the
traffic over the net.

Second, my protocol is a open protocol, no proprietary like POP or SMTP
but with the security add-on.

I know there is more utilities to "prevent" the spam but ... it doesn't
prevent the traffic, so the primary idea is to limit the traffic over
the net.

Why re-invent the wheel?
When APACHE was developed there was other Web Servers and they do it, so
.. why reinvent ...

and Linux ... there is no other UNIX system ....
or java ....
or c++

because if it's better it would be a good utility

i think, what do you think?

Thank for reply
