For a couple weeks i have been using a simple milter that i wrote
in C, which calls bogofilter on all messages which pass through
the relay.  It's inefficient, since it writes each message to a
temp file, then spawns a bogofilter pipe with the file.  Eventually
i'd like to figure out how to link it directly with the bogofilter
codebase, if possible.

Anyway it seems to work in my environment, but it's not anywhere
near release quality.  Among other issues, there is a small memory
leak that needs fixing, a shortage of error checking, and just
general clunkiness.

If someone wants to see the code, that's fine, but i can't support
it or be responsible for how it will mess up your mail system. :)
