Bot filter coming soon

To deter bots pegging the database CPU to 100%, a bot testing filter to be added to the website. This should not affect newsfeeds etc. Anubis seems light-weight - it is already in use within the FreeBSD Project. This notice is just a heads up in case you see something odd. This notice will be updated after Anubis is installed.

pkg-message:
For install:
How to start + For existing `mewest` user, backup and/or delete the database (`~/Mail/casket`) - Since "mailestd" can work with the old database, so OK to skip deleting `~/Mail/casket`, but remark that `V` will not work against the mails which are indexed by `mewest`. To make `V` work against them, delete the database in advance. + Add the below line to `.mew.el` to let Mew use "Hyper Estrairer" for search. ((setq mew-search-method 'est) + Add the below lines to `~/.emacs` use use the "mailest" instead of existing "mewest". (defvar mew-prog-est "mew-mailest") (defvar mew-prog-est-update "mew-mailest") (defvar mew-prog-cmew "cmew-mailest") (defvar mew-prog-smew "smew-mailest") (defvar mew-id-db-file ".mailest.sock") + Try `km`, `kM`, `k/`, `k?`, `V` in Mew. See http://mew.org/en/info/release/mew_6.html#dbsearch for search commands in Mew.
