Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

It's a bit difficult for me to understand your plans. Do you checked
existing solutions (bogofilter, spamassassin etc)?

What do you plan to provide? What are the differencies with the
existing solutions?


Please register your project once more with the changes mentioned
above. The way we handle pending projects makes it difficult to keep
track of projects that have been answered but have not been approved
yet, so we erase them and we ask you to register the project again every
time some change has to be done to the registration, and users might
have to register their projects several times. Thank you for your
understanding.

Some users find it useful to use the big re-registration URL provided in
the acknowledgment e-mail you received after registration.

Regards,
