Glad to know that you liked the idea. This is basically, an extension
to the SWOT, where you can pass the intelligence and even the list of
spammers. However, there is a lot of scope of implementation in spam-X
also and user can be provided with more configurable options to
configure the extent of spam portability. e.g. to select the degree of
security in filtering or may be categorization of filter rules
according to the need of the site. So, if another site imports data
from first one, it can even choose the selective and useful data for
it.

I have started looking at the programming model of the geeklog and the
functions used in it. Hopefully, if i get a chance to code for geeklog
this summer, I will start working on it exclusively as soon as
possible.
