Thank you very much, Gregory. I use it for all it's intended use cases, but have also leveraged it to generate a list of "bad actors" that I add to pf(4). The list is verified daily and currently contains `half a billion IPv4 IP's. I could have never managed anything like this with all the other mailers available. Can I help sponsor your work in any way? Thanks again! --chris
