    • implemented rmilter libmilter application that can perform various number of checks of incoming messages: https://www.milter.org/milter/71
    • written own memcached and beanstalk client libraries
    • written own upstreams library with stable hashing support (ketama alorithm)

  • Filter for nginx  (http://sysoev.ru) that parses Perl Storable container into human readable form
    • nginx filter module that can parse perl storable or json containers and dump it to http output

  • Antispam system rspamd (https://bitbucket.org/vstakhov/rspamd)
    • events driven anti-spam filtering system with many features, among them are:
      • regexp processing and regexp expressions optimizer
