[Mimedefang] Using a db for subject lines to block

[Cormack, Ken]

I appreciate the feedback, David.

A Berkley DB hash should be fine for this purpose.  I do have existing
greylist lookup/manipulation functions that I can reverse-engineer to get
the jist of what I'm looking for.  (Unfortunately, I'm not a strong perl
guy, and the gent that wrote our greylist functions has since moved on to
"other career opportunities").

Not $Subject, specifically, but our CanIt product is almost completely
database-driven.  We use a PostgreSQL database, but for what you
want, any SQL database would probably be fine, or even just Berkeley DB
with a tied hash.

If you go the SQL route, just create a table of subjects, with an index
for speedy lookup, and you should be fine.

David.
