Some things to keep me busy for the next few months.

• PPswitch:
  • Modify activity graphs for the new scanner setup. Add SpamAssassin load tracking.
  • Do a public weekly spam filtering statistics news item. Break down stats per department, especially so that the Old Fools know how much junk their anti-spam appliance isn't seeing.
  • Push per-user filtering options out to SMTP time. Add per-domain filtering options for other University mail servers.
• Exim:
  • Finish the TLS logging improvements and unit tests for the new ratelimit code, then roll a 4.70 release.
  • Implement greylisting, probably for 4.71.
  • Revamp the hints database layer so it can support concurrent updates (e.g. Berkeley DB row-level locking) and clustered databases (e.g. memcached), probably for 4.72. This will improve the retry, ratelimit, and greylisting databases.
• FreeBSD:
  • Update factor(6) with bug fixes from NetBSD. (bug found when factorizing my phone number!)
  • Fix bugs and feature omissions in unifdef(1) reported by Ben Hutchings and Anders Kaseorg.
