@heimdall To write it a bit less misleading: In the server application, not in the client application

@heimdall If we put this code on the Internet alongside everything else, spammers would just read it and adjust their tactics to gain an advantage in the cat-and-mouse game of keeping spam off the network. If the system doesn’t work if the code is made public, it doesn’t work. It’s as simple as that.

@heimdall Can't understand it, either. "Closed source, because we wan't to protect you of spammers?" sounds terrible to me.
