I work for MessageLabs [messagelabs.com] in Gloucester UK, except I live in Kitchener, ON, Canada. I write spam filters, MTA software, high performance network software, string matching algorithms, and other cool stuff mostly in Perl and C. We're always hiring so feel free to email me (no telecommuters though - I'm the only exception :-).

  • nice job! I had a forehead-slapping "duh" moment when you mentioned one of the best ways to implement qpsmtpd is leave your existing server running on a different port and just forward all the good mail to it.

    (BTW, 'done' means I posted it on delicious, so that's basically telling everyone I know...)

  • Would help if that was actually a link [oreillynet.com]!

    • D'oh! It was on my preview because I use the Firefox Linkification extension. For some reason I just assumed that use.perl was converting it to a link.
  • I think this can count as a recent "success story" for Perl:
    As an example of the scalability of qpsmtpd, the apache.org mail servers currently process more than 2 million emails a day on their primary MX, rejecting more than 80 percent of it as junk — all thanks to the power and flexibility of qpsmtpd.

    We were in need of those, weren't we? Recent success stories?
