Documentation can be improved.
For instance there are features that may even exist, that one doesn know 
about.

For example I asked on the list, without answer, what happens when 
there are multiple servers listed in the "servers" file?
Ideally the client would support multiple servers so once cour report spam 
to both the public and a private server. At the same time one would like 
to have the same arrangement at checking time. This way one could check 
the local server first and if no match is found then check the public 
server.

Next would be to be able to sync between servers. Perhaps an export/import 
function for the server. An even simpler to allow servers to import the 
log file from another server. Then post weekly the public server log.

I would be willing to help with documentation, hosting a mirror of the log 
or even becoming the main site for the log. I am sure others would not 
mind to mirror.

The ability to make the system more distributed will greatly help the 
system since it depends on having a good feed of spam.
