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!
