Spammers beware--hostile amphibians are once again rising against you.

First there was Blue Frog, a community antispam effort that stopped operating last week after Blue Security, the 
company that started the project, came under a withering denial-of-service attack.

Out of the ashes comes Black Frog, part of a project that is apparently willing to become a flag bearer in the fight 
against spam. The project, dubbed Okopipi, is developing the Black Frog antispam software and service as an open-source 
project, according to the group's wiki.

This should be quite entertaining. Sounds like a death wish
for their service to me, considering what happened to Blue
Security.
