Anti-spam technology resurrected as FrogNet

Leave it to the Open Source guys!

"An open-source project has formed to recreate a more robust version of the
anti-spam service offered by Blue Security, following a spammer's attack
that shut down the company's Blue Frog service.

The project--named Okopipi for a poisonous frog found in Suriname--will
attempt to build a peer-to-peer version of the anti-spam service that is
more resilient to denial-of-service attacks, like the ones that shut down
Blue Security's site and service as well as several Internet service
providers for two weeks. On May 16, Blue Security shuttered its Blue Frog
service to halt attacks on its clients by an irate spammer. The company
declared that it would not reenter the anti-spam business for the
foreseeable future."
