Description-en: Black List Daemon, automatically build blacklists
BLD stands for "black list daemon" and is intended to build blacklists
using simple rules based on a maximum number of submissions of the same
IP address during a minimum time interval. BLD was primarily designed to
fight against dictionary-based spams (by making the MTA report to BLD
any host that tries to send a mail to an unknown user) but can be used
by any application that needs a blacklist based on connection rate
limits.
.
This package contains the server.
